- W96282481 abstract "Sesbania rostrata Bremek. & Oberm., a stem-nodulating species, has been the most successful green manure in increasing the yield of rainy-season lowland rice but has found little adoption in Asia, partly because its niches have not been sufficiently defined. In northern Thailand, rainfall is 1100–1300 mm. In the rain-fed areas of the upper north, only one crop of rice (Oryza sativa L.) can be planted (July to November–December), while under irrigation, rainy-season rice (from July–August to November–December) is followed by one to two dry-season crops that are harvested by May, leaving a period of 2–3 months before the next rice planting. Efforts to incorporate Sesbania in the rice-based systems of the upper north have focused on both systems. On-station research efforts at the Multiple Cropping Centre of Chiang Mai University, initiated in 1993, have included an irrigated double-cropping rice-soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) system, that is, rainy-season rice and dry-season soybean. Sesbania, broadcast in ploughed soil in mid-May and allowed to grow for 55 days before incorporation, performed well, with fresh weight of 10.6 to 21.9 t ha−1, N accumulation of 78–123 kg ha−1 and, in the absence of fertilizer, a positive impact on following rice yield (4.64 vs. 3.93 t ha−1 for fertilized rice). On-farm efforts on a similar rice-soybean system and on a rain-fed single-cropping rice system have been ongoing since 1997 in Chiang Mai province. Efforts have included diffusion work and have had a participatory and wide focus—intensification of the rice system. On farmer fields in 1997, overall rice yields were low because of a long dry spell. Across fields, the average yield after Sesbania was slightly lower (3.25 t ha−1) than for the fertilized rice but the effect was not consistent from one field to another. In 1998, impact of Sesbania varied by field. Sesbania biomass production varied (0.9–8.4 t DM ha−1) both among villages (because of environmental factors, particularly soil type) and within villages (mainly because of different sowing dates of Sesbania). Benefit-cost analysis indicating beneficial cost-benefit ratio (1.62) included only the direct economic benefits to the farmer (yield increase and savings in inorganic fertilizer) and added costs of seed purchase and preparation, land preparation prior to Sesbania planting and labour for broadcasting seed. The surveyed farmers affirmed these costs and benefits, verifying the importance of the need for additional land preparation before Sesbania planting as a main constraint for farmer adoption, which has varied by community. Of the surveyed farmers, 75% found that incorporation of Sesbania caused no problems or hardship, 80% experienced improved soil conditions and 68% increased rice yield. About 25% encountered problems, including that the system required more time and labour. Over 60% of the participating farmers were determined to continue using Sesbania. The future of rice-based Sesbania systems in northern Thailand is unsure and, among others, developments in the policy and economic spheres will impact future adoption. Ability to collaborate among government agencies (particularly in seed production) and to develop effective extension packages will be particularly influential. Future research should include niche identification, assessment of cost-effective ways to establish and stabilize Sesbania productivity and the development of integrated nutrient management practices." @default.
