Rice Production: A Training Manual and Field Guide to Small-Farm Irrigated Rice Production

摘要

This manual presents a simple, step-by-step description of irrigated rice production in Sierra Leone. It is geared specifically to the role and needs of Peace Corps Volunteers. Placed in rural areas throughout the country, Volunteers work with local farmers as advisors, co-workers, and friends in helping introduce a new farming technology: water control agriculture. As extension agents, their role includes surveying undeveloped swamps, designing effective water control systems, and teaching farmers productive and appropriate rice cultivation practices.
