Effect of Different Land Preparation Methods for Sawah System Development on Soil Productivity Improvement and Rice Grain Yield in Inland Valleys of Southeastern Nigeria

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: The development of agriculture in inland valleys of Southeastern Nigeria could not be realized merely due to inability of the farmers to develop these potential and abundant inland valleys for such water loving crops like rice using appropriate water management systems.In an attempt to replicate the successful Japanese Satoyama watershed management model in the African agro-ecosystems, sawah rice cultivation technology has been introduced to farmers' fields.
