- 8. How Rice Crop Manager helps farmers? • Provides farmers with personalized information and an actionable recommendation on: • Improved nutrient management: (N, P, K, Zn) • Sources • Rates • Timing • Seed rate for direct seeded rice • Weed management • Crop health management • Controlled irrigation (AWD) • Target yield adjusted for climate & farmer resources a. Printed recommendation before the crop b. Reminders and advise during the crop
- 9. Use of Rice Crop Manager recommendations increases yield and net income • IRRI and PhilRice collaborative research • Supported by DA National Rice Program through DA-BAR
- 10. Progress with Rice Crop Manager The DA National Rice Program has supported the deployment of RCM throughout the Philippines More than 500,000 recommendations received by farmers in 17 months
- 11. Rice Crop Manager helps increase the effectiveness of extension services • More farmers are reached faster with personalized information to meet needs and match local conditions • Technologies and information can more rapidly reach the correct farmers
