As many of us know CSISA is working since long in different region and crop commodities in Nepal. It would be great if i could read some well gone sustainable technologies with CSISA's good effort.
I think ,one of the most effective technologies is the rice intensification programme...
Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA) interventions are grouped into three thematic areas:
1. Innovation towards impact.
2. Reducing risk for intensification and
3. Adding value to extension systems; systemic change towards impact –
These partnerships continue to advance research-based recommendations for basic rice agronomy and application of precision approaches to weed, water and nutrient management, including decision frameworks for intensification.
CSISA’s survey results showed that adoption of healthy rice seedling growing techniques can be sustained if they are easily implemented, effective and productivity enhancing.
CSISA developed a dynamic solution – it introduced seedbed technology, an innovative technique for raising seedlings.
CSISA is leveraging crop modeling and remote sensing informatics to improve the quality of irrigation scheduling recommendations for rice.
Planned activities on seed systems and markets will focus on communicating policy reform options for state-led seed market interventions and the tradeoffs between promoting short-term varietal replacement and long-term seed market development.. At least 99% of the farmers who took part in the survey continued to use at least one practice, and others continued to implement a combination of new healthy rice seedling practices. CSISA provided training to farmers who purchased a reaper to enable them to become service providers, thereby increasing the number of farmers who had access to reaper services and the amount of land under reaper harvesting.
SRI culture is one of them.Better it will be if you go and check at their site.
Hello Er. Joshi,
Particular to Nepal, sustainable technologies promoted by CSISA include a wide range of resource-conserving technologies like direct seeding of rice, zero tillage wheat, mechanized sowing of maize, precision nutrient management, mechanical weeding and harvesting, pulse intensification, etc. CSISA envisages widespread scaling of these technologies in wider domain through partnerships. Therefore, It is 'Research into Scaling' project. You may track CSISA's activities in www.csisa.org.
