Green Asia Report Series
This series aims to introduce scalable technologies that can be shared in the Asia-Monsoon region and contribute to the transformation of food systems in the region, by serving as a reference for various stakeholders, including government officials, researchers, extension officers, producers, and the private sector.
The third issue introduces biological nitrification inhibition (BNI), a technology for which JIRCAS has been leading. BNI technology is expected to reduce fertilizer use and minimize environmental impact.
The second issue introduces intermittent irrigation technology, which is expected to have effects such as water saving, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction, and yield stabilization in rice cultivation.
