Planting Dates to Mitigate Climate Variability Effects on Phenology and Yield of Faro-66 and Rok-34 Rice Under Rain-fed Conditions in Sierra Leone

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Sierra Leone, a staple food for both diet and the economy, is severely constrained by climate variability, particularly erratic rainfall patterns that disrupt traditional planting calendars. Identifying adaptive strategies, such as optimizing planting dates for specific varieties, i...

ADAPTIVE PLANTING DATES TO MITIGATE CLIMATE VARIABILITY EFFECTS ON PHENOLOGY AND YIELD OF FARO-66 AND ROK-34 RICE UNDER RAIN-FED CONDITIONS IN SIERRA LEONE

Assessment of Systems of Rice Intensification (SRI) Principles on ROK-34 Growth and Yield Under Rainfed Conditions in Moyamba District, Sierra Leone

Climate variability, declining soil fertility, and diminishing effectiveness of conventional agronomic practices increasingly constrain rice (Oryza sativa L.) production in Sierra Leone. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an alternative that is resource-efficient, but empirical evidence on its performance with...
