4 – Field Scale Innovation

This component aimed to optimise the learning from scaling field scale activities under the SRFSI project and subsequently others; and act as a link to local engagement and impact for two-way flow of information. The other important element was in identifying emerging biophysical constraints to conservation agriculture practices in the medium term, to develop a better understanding of soil, weed and water saving dynamics. The following projects have contributed to the objectives of the component:

1.     Sustainable and Resilient Farming Systems Intensification Variations 4 – 6

• ACIAR SRFSI Synthesis Report

• The West Bengal Story — ACIAR SDIP

• SRFSI – Sustainable and Resilient Farming Systems Intensification in the Eastern Gangetic Plains

• SDIP Webinar | Progressing Sustainable Intensification in the Eastern Gangetic Plains

   

2.     Identifying Eastern Gangetic Plains Soil Constraints

• Identifying Eastern Gangetic Plains Soil Constraints

   

3.     Understanding the gendered implications of changing weed dynamics in farming systems intensification in the Eastern Gangetic Plains

• Webinar: Gender dynamics of weed management under conservation agriculture in the EGP

• Limitations to Effective Weed Management under Zero Tillage Systems in the Eastern Gangetic Plains

• The Implications of Sustainable Intensification on Weed Dynamics in the Eastern Gangetic Plains

• Herbicides and Zero Tillage in South Asia: Are we creating a gendered problem?

   

4.     Quantifying crop yield gaps across the IGP from new perspectives – production, farmer profit and sustainability of water use

• Webinar: Which crop yield gaps should we be targeting across the IGP? –

• Final report
