Alternate wetting and drying (AWD)--using less water to grow rice

Also see: www.knowledgebank.irri.org/ewa...
Across the globe, water is fast becoming a precious commodity as more and more people use it for the household, industry, and agriculture.
Since almost half of the worlds population depends on rice as its staple food, rice uses the highest amount of water in agriculture. By 2025, 15 to 20 million hectares of irrigated rice fields may suffer from water scarcity.
To face this challenge, scientists at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI; irri.org) have developed a technique called alternate wetting and drying or AWD, which uses less water to grow rice. This video provides a glimpse on how to apply AWD in irrigated rice fields.

This is very important knowledge, to us as a small scale farmers.

INNOVATIVE TECHNIQUE TO ADOPT IT FOR DRYLAND FARMERS

[@danhdiep4415]

It's useful. Some provinces in VN used it.

[@nameirakpamdhananjoy2864]

Thank you

[@laminediop1212]

great video

[@lalumierehuguenote]

Kinda AWESOME !

[@henryrights8428]

it's not actually using less water. It's using water in energy-efficient way Instead of flooding the fields in uncontrolled manner which would result in unnecessary usage =]

[@rolandodeleon2248]

Thus it increases yield and less susceptible in pest and dieases ?

[@shashikalshashikalshashika2982]

Super

[@zimrigalim9825]

We would like to ask permission to use a small clip of your video To present our Intelligent AWD technology to our panelists. we would like to upgrade this AWD. Thank you so much

[@shivan5547]

Can we apply this technique through out the world?

[@JHASH_PETS]

Yes, it's the best method to be Practiced in India.

[@skjha2k]

We are going to make the IOT system around this technique and help farmer know the irrigation schedule.

Have u finsihed yet?

[@nikhilshetty682]

Reach out incase you're looking for carbon credit mechanism to support this noble cause

[@nishadmajumdara1834]

We have invented a more efficient technolgy to save water. We have used a technology that waters the plant automitacally when ever it is needed.

[@nirmal6362]

Keep dreaming.
