The document summarizes the status of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) in Nigeria. SRI aims to promote more productive rice plants through improved management practices. While some initial trials were conducted in Nigeria, SRI has not been widely adopted. A recent trial in Jigawa State showed promising results, with a farmer achieving 3.8 tons/hectare using SRI compared to 0.8-1 ton/hectare using standard practices. For SRI to succeed in Nigeria, improved awareness, training, research and extension are needed, as SRI has the potential to greatly benefit small-scale farmers if adopted.
