PhD Dissertations and Master's Theses
(by year)
2012
- Arayaphong, Supisra. 2012. Cost - benefit analysis of different rice cropping systems in Thailand. Master's thesis, Uppsala University, Sweden. (60p., 2MB pdf). [The study finds that compared to conventional methods, SRI reduces production inputs (water, seed, agrochemicals), increases yield gain, and reduces environmental degradation (through pesticide and CH4 reduction). However, risk is higher.]
