Outline of Final Research Achievements

SRI farming is becoming explosively popular in Southeast Asian countries. However, an appropriate cultivation management technology has not been established because the method is different for each country and farmers. In this study, we have developed the field monitoring technology for measuring the scientific parameters, such as the weather and the soil and underground water level. Then we have introduced the field monitoring system to four Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. From the viewpoint of Agricultural Engineering, we discussed the features of SRI farming, and examined the standard method of SRI cultivation. In addition, as an adaptation measure to climate change that is currently concern, we discussed the best solution that can be taken by the farmers in each country focusing on water resources and agricultural land management.
