The Nusantara Organic SRI Center has a vision to make Indonesia the largest organic rice producing country by 2020. It conducts research on environmentally friendly agriculture using local knowledge to improve organic SRI through better processing and marketing. Current practices like burning rice straw, overuse of chemicals, and flooding fields are harming the earth by causing issues like global warming, water scarcity, declining soil fertility, and reduced biodiversity. Organic SRI is presented as an alternative that is environmentally friendly, saves water and seeds, recycles organic waste, improves soil fertility, and applies local wisdom. It can yield higher outputs and fetch better prices in the market while producing chemical residue-free products. The center has been

2. Vision and Mission
To enable Indonesia to become the largest organic rice-
producing country in the world by year 2020
1. To develop agriculture to be environmental-friendly by
empowering farmers and drawing on local knowledge
2. To conduct research, to provide agribusiness
consultancy, and to speed up and improve the
development of organic SRI through better processing and
marketing

3. Our Earth is Heating
1. Burning paddy straw after harvest
2. Over-use of chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizer
3. Flooding of paddy fields

4. 1. Our earth is in critical
condition
Too much use of chemical fertilizer will cause
declining productivity and less fertility of soil
Continuously using chemical fertilizer and chemical pesticide
The soil becomes hard, compacted, sticky, and difficult to work
during soil preparation and it has less water-holding capacity

 2006: First SRI trial was carried out at locations in Eastern Bhutan
-- both at farmer’s field and research centre, at 1600-2000 masl
 Showed better crop performance.

22. Principles of Organic SRI
a. Young seedlings between 7-10 days old (with
just two leaves) are planted singly and
shallow, at spacing of 25 x 25 cm or wider
b. Soil should be kept moist, with alternate
flooding and draining irrigation, but with no
continuously standing water on field
c. Weeding should be conducted several times,
starting at 10 days after transplanting, and
repeated 3 times in 10-day intervals is
possible

23. SRI – Organic Cultivation
1. Land Preparation
To obtain a good rice growth with SRI-Organic, land preparation
should be made by plowing 25-30 cm deep, using organic fertilizer
when processing the soil, with use of compost and MOL
5-7 ton/ha depends on soil fertility

24. SRI – Organic Cultivation
2. Channels
One or more channels should be dug across the field
to drain off excess water

25. SRI – Organic Cultivation
3. Seed Selection
Seed test to obtain the best quality seed
Egg
Prepare salt solution in a
bucket
When egg floats . . .
Salt Water
Put seed into solution Separate the floating seeds
Wash the good quality seed
Use good seeds at bottom with plain water

26. SRI – Organic Cultivation
4. Paddy Nursery
NURSERY
Nursery is to be prepared using trays and/or in the field to facilitate
planting.
The following steps are made under the SRI method:
1. Soil and organic fertilizer are to be mixed with a ratio of 1 : 1
2. Before filling the tray with soil, the soil is pre-mixed wih organic
fertilizer and should be layered with banana leaves in order to
facilitate easy uprooting and to maintain soil humidity.
Afterward, the soil is to be filled and watered to make it humid
3. The dried seeds are put on the soil-filled tray
4. After spreading the seeds, they are covered with a thin layer of soil.
5. Tray should be placed safe, away from chickens or other animals
6. Watering is to be done each day to keep the soil medium humid and
the plants fresh.

27. SRI – Organic Cultivation
5.a. Marking
MARKING
Prior to planting, marking of the field is done using a device in order to establish planting
grids to facilitate even spacing. Rake-maker or roller-maker functions as a ‘ruler’ with
certain distances, such as 30 x 30 cm, or 25 x 25 cm, or some other spacing. Grids are ;laid
out for the field’s length and width. Each meeting point of the rows will be where each
seedling is to be planted.

28. SRI – Organic Cultivation
5.b. SRI Method Planting
Planting under the SRI method is done using the following steps:
1. Seedlings must be of young age -- 7–10 days after seeding in tray or nursery, when
they have only 2 leaves.
2. Each seedling must be planted singly in one hill
3. Seedlings are planted shallow, and their roots are placed in the soil in an L shape, and
planting is done when the soil is not submerged in water
Plant Spacing 25 CM x 25 CM
Plant Spacing 30 CM x 30 CM

29. SRI – Organic Cultivation
6. Organic Fertilizer
Local micro-organisms (indigenous microorganisms) should be used, referred to as MOL,
applied by spraying. The treatments consist of :
1. First spraying at 10 days after transplanting, using MOL solution @ 30 liter/Ha
2. Then spray MOL 30 L/Ha 8 times after every 10-day interval.

At least 4 times weeding before the canopy closes, starting
every ten days after transplanting (at days 10, 20, 30 and 40); watering of
the paddy field is to be done intermittently, or flood and drain irrigation

8. Weeding
The purpose of weeding is not
only to get rid of weeds but also to
loosen the soil in order to keep the
soil aerated and fertile. The plant
can get more nutrients by spraying
liquid fertilizer after weeding.
Besides uprooting weeds and
grasses, weeding will cultivate the
soil around the paddy plant.
Weeding is done 4 times, every 10-
day interval after transplanting.

9. Pest Control
Pest Control by using Bio - Pesticide
Bio–pesticides can be made from cow urine, tobacco
leaves, garlic, berenuk fruit, mahogany fruit, etc.
The usage of bio–pesticide is for when the pests cannot be controlled.
