|
Sustainable water management is at the heart of producing more food with less resources in an increasingly complex environment due to climate change. The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is working together in creating impacts at scale that is beneficial for the people and the planet. |

IRRI and PhilRice joined the international community in celebrating World Water Day through a field day to generate awareness on sustainable water use as part of their ongoing collaboration “Water-efficient and Risk Mitigation Technologies for Enhancing Rice Production in Irrigated and Rainfed Environments” (WateRice). With the theme “Nature for Water”, the field day was organized at Turnout 8, Purok Curva, Bantug, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija on 22 March 2018.
Farmers from Bantug and nearby Barangays, representatives from the City Agriculture Office, National Irrigation Administration, Bureau of Soil and Water Management and local officials visited the demonstration field where some of the WateRice technologies such as improved water management using AutoMonPH decision tool and Mechanical transplanter were demonstrated. After the field tour, the participants visited an exhibit which showcases technologies which can save irrigation water such as laser levelling, mechanized planting and others. There was also demonstration on effective weeds control strategies. The participants were very engaged to know more about access to these technologies.
