Scope and Parameters

The conduct of the R&D component shall be two-pronged. Two project sites shall be selected for full-blown R&D to be conducted by a team of agricultural experts.

The Provincial Team, together with local DA representatives shall conduct the R&D component in these 4 sites.

The full-blown R&D shall investigate two (2) areas of inquiry, namely (1) Comparison of the Agronomic, Economic and Yield Responses of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), Balanced Fertilization, and Farmer’s Practice in two project sites; and, (2) Quantification of the Contribution to Rice Productivity of the Component Technologies of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI).

R&D Focus Sites

Alaminos City in Pangasinan and the municipality of Baao in Camarines Sur shall serve as the focus sites for the R&D component of OFSP Phase 1.
