Production management package for sustainable rice yield performance in the granary areas of Peninsular Malaysia

Suhaimi Othman, . and Abd. Razak Hamzah, . (2005) Production management package for sustainable rice yield performance in the granary areas of Peninsular Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

The existence of yield gap within and between granary areas and the INTRODUCTION of new yield targets NAP3 and MOA require a paradigm shift in the rice production system. To realize the set yield targets 7.0-10.0 t/ha production technologies have to be prcised. CREST-FERTO production technology package has been developed by MARDI to achieve both improved and sustainable yield performance. CREST is crop establishment management package for ideal crop setting. The package involves four major components: post-harvest field management land preparation seeding and seedling management. CREST is pre-requisite requirement to achieving the yield target through establishment of uniform crop stand and set population density. CREST contributes at least 40 to overall yield performance. FERTO is a computerized fertilizer management tool that involves four principle components: inherent soil fertility status nutrient quantity nutrient access and crop nutrient balance. FERTO provides fertilizer recommendation option for set yield target. With ideal crop setting FERTO will contribute another 40 to overall yield performance thus CREST and FERTO contributes 80 to overall yield target. CREST specifications and FERTO formulations is provided with field rice check system in the form of crop growth indicators for the vegetative growth stage and yield performance indicators for the reproductive growth stage. Up- scaled verification of the package in MADA 2004-2005 indicated that the technology is able to achieve and sustain 7.0 -8.0 t/ha yield performance. Widespread adoption of the technology will reduce the yield gap at farm level sustain yield performance and increase farm returns.

Abstract

The existence of yield gap within and between granary areas and the INTRODUCTION of new yield targets NAP3 and MOA require a paradigm shift in the rice production system. To realize the set yield targets 7.0-10.0 t/ha production technologies have to be prcised. CREST-FERTO production technology package has been developed by MARDI to achieve both improved and sustainable yield performance. CREST is crop establishment management package for ideal crop setting. The package involves four major components: post-harvest field management land preparation seeding and seedling management. CREST is pre-requisite requirement to achieving the yield target through establishment of uniform crop stand and set population density. CREST contributes at least 40 to overall yield performance. FERTO is a computerized fertilizer management tool that involves four principle components: inherent soil fertility status nutrient quantity nutrient access and crop nutrient balance. FERTO provides fertilizer recommendation option for set yield target. With ideal crop setting FERTO will contribute another 40 to overall yield performance thus CREST and FERTO contributes 80 to overall yield target. CREST specifications and FERTO formulations is provided with field rice check system in the form of crop growth indicators for the vegetative growth stage and yield performance indicators for the reproductive growth stage. Up- scaled verification of the package in MADA 2004-2005 indicated that the technology is able to achieve and sustain 7.0 -8.0 t/ha yield performance. Widespread adoption of the technology will reduce the yield gap at farm level sustain yield performance and increase farm returns.
