3-S system is a Chinese version <strong>SRI</strong> principles, adapted<br />
for cold-zone; see table on 3-S for range <strong>of</strong> results; this<br />
system is being used now on 44,000 ha in Heilungjiong<br />
New record for high-altitude rice; trials showed<br />
significant increases in number <strong>of</strong> spikelets, and<br />
10.5-14.6% increases in yield<br />
11.75 NR Density <strong>of</strong> 13.5x10 3 /mu, which was 35.4% above the<br />
control (18x10 3 /mu); 4.5x10 3 /mu density gave -12.1%<br />
than control<br />
10.08 - 10.37 NR 12-19 d seedlings + <strong>SRI</strong> methods vs. 9.35 - 9.96 t/ha<br />
with 25-28 d seedlings and <strong>SRI</strong> methods<br />
8.85 - 9.93 4 varieties <strong>SRI</strong> with different <strong>SRI</strong> vs. 7.89-8.84 t/ha for controls<br />
(same variety); ave. increase was 12.8%; effective<br />
11.0-12.0 Nei2You6 and<br />
Liangyoupeijiu<br />
tillering 89.3% with <strong>SRI</strong> vs. 82.5% control<br />
Projected average yield for 300 mu; 10.8 t/ha in 2003;<br />
some fields could reach 13.5 t/ha<br />
10.5 Many varieties Average <strong>from</strong> over 60 locations reporting, out <strong>of</strong> 100+<br />
evaluations <strong>of</strong> <strong>SRI</strong> in province this year; 3 t/ha more<br />
than the 7.5 t/ha usual yield<br />
11.64 NR Crop cutting, adjusted for moisture content, witnessed<br />
by rice experts attending annual SAAS meeting on rice<br />
improvement<br />
13.2 Super-hybrid Raised bed, no-till adaptation <strong>of</strong> <strong>SRI</strong>, with applications<br />
<strong>of</strong> organic matter; had a certified yield <strong>of</strong> 16 t/ha in<br />
2001<br />
12.1 NR Li Chengde, farmer-demonstrator, predicted 100 mu<br />
this season after getting 12.2 t/ha yield on 10 mu in<br />
2003; the village had 300 mu under <strong>SRI</strong> in 2004<br />
