What is it about?

This is a technology adaptation of perennial cropping rice in Indonesia called SALIBU to the triple cropping rice technology in the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam. We conducted a pot experiment with the Taguchi method.

Why is it important?

The results show no additional technology is needed to execute perennial cropping. According to the Taguchi method, the results are stable if the robustness proved under two (standard and bad) conditions.

Perspectives

Changing rice cultivation to perennial enables cultivation with no rice straw incorporation. That reduces methane emission and nitrogen fertilizer application. These two are highly beneficial in sustainability.
