Paper Summary

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) was compared to Traditional Practices (TP) in Senegal to see which was more effective. SRI had higher yields and profitability than TP, even though it required more technical knowledge and cost more to implement. SRI had better yield parameters and economic returns, making it a more sustainable option for rice production in the Ziguinchor district.
