1 Sawah Technology (2): Background and Sawah System Evolution for Rice Green Revolution(GR) in Sub Saharan () by T Wakatsuki, Shimane University (Sawah network URL: 3 rd and 8 th July 28, JICA Nagoya and Tsukuba. Definition, Genesis and Evolution of Sawah Technology 2. Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) of n and Latin American Green Revolution (GR) 3. Among three green revolution(gr) technologies, what will be the core technology to realize n GR? Or are there any other missing factors?what will be the core technology to realize n Green Revolution? 4. Characteristics of three green revolution technologies: High yielding varieties, 2 Irrigation and drainage, 3 Soil and Fertilizers as well as Agrochemicals, 5. Various Traditional Rice Farming Systems and 6 Stages of Sawah Systems Evolution in 6. Why are poor paddy yields in the st, 2 nd and 3 rd evolutionary stages of sawah system, i.e., non- sawah, ridge planting, and micro sawah, which are common in? -2. Sawah and Sawah System definition: Sawah is Malay- Indonesian term to describe man-made enclosed, demarcated, rice field by bunds, ridges, or levees, to facilitate water control and soil conservation. Basic characteristics are () Bunding with appropriate height, width with compaction and surface sealing to control leakage. Layouts of bunding are normally follow topographic contour lines. (2) Leveling less than cm height difference within one sawah plot surrounded bunds, (3) Ordinary soil surface of the sawah is puddled to facilitate leveling, weed and water leakage control, (4) Ordinary sawah plots have water inlet connecting irrigation canal and water outlet to drainage canal. Sometime outlet(s) of upper sawah(s) are the inlet(s) of lower sawah(s), (5) Rainfed sawahs have no man-made irrigation and drainage structures except for direct rainfall and natural water harvesting and drainage using topography. -, Definition and genesis of technical terms of Paddy and Sawah Table No concept and term Sawah or SUIDEN (in Japanese). No proper English/French and local language in West and to describe eco- technological concept and term to improve farmers rice fields, such as Sawah. 水田 SUIDEN(Japanese)=SAWAH(Malay-Indonesian) Plant Biotechnology Environment Ecotechnlogy English Indonesian Chinese( 漢字 ) Rice Nasi 米, 飯, 稲 Paddy Padi 稲, 籾 (Paddy)? Sawah 水田 -3. Bio-technology and Eco*-technology *Initially the target was to develop eco-technology in comparison with bio-technology described left side of the figure below. to improve rice growing ecology and environment, i.e, to improve soil condition and water cycling. However since the term sawah imply rice growing ecology and environment, sawah technology and sawah eco-technology can describe the same meaning. Multi-disciplinary targets of Sawah and Sawah Eco- Technology, which can () increase not only productivity, but also make possible sustainable creation and restoration of total watershed and/or landscape, (2) be viable to local socioeconomic and cultural settings, (3) integrate agronomy and agricultural engineering based on ecological sciences, (4) connect almost of all categories of core agricultural sciences.

2 Why have modern scientific technologies of breeding, fertilizers and irrigation never been effective in farmers rice fields of? Non-Sawah upland paddy field Guinea, Aug.3 Non-sawah rice fields in inland valley at Kumasi, Ghana(2) Sawah was developed using hundreds years by Chinese farmers themselves(otsuka 24) Irrigated Sawah system was developed by farmers self-support efforts, which realized >4t/ha(2) -4, Sawah technology for irrigated sawah system and rice farming -5, Genesis and Evolution of sawah technology from initial target of inland valleys to large scale flood plains and deltas This technology has been developed by trial and error processes by sawah network teams in Japan, Ghana and Nigeria, targeting initially numerous small inland valleys where water control is easy during 986 and 2. This technology, the Inland Valley Sawah Technology, had reached a level where technology could transfer to international research institutes, such as JIRCAS, Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences, during 28-2 (DIITRPA by Fujimoto 2) and Rice Center during (SMART-IV, Sawah, Market Access and Rice Technology, smart-valleys, changed name from 25, Rice). Since 23 it became the core technology of the rice revolution of the Kebbi state (Dakingari 23), northwest Nigeria through the inventions to combine with the pump irrigation technology for the use of shallow groundwater of the floodplain and the inland Delta in savanna zones during As a result, it was discovered that the development of irrigated sawah system by sawah technology could reach to the scale of million ha in various large scale lowlands in. Thus it has evolved to the (n) Sawah Technology. Farmers diverse and chaotic open fields:. Scientific soil, water and crops managements are difficult 2. Land is shared with diverse peoples. 3. Standard post-harvest technology can not apply. Sawah Fields are demarcated by bund based on topography, hydrology and soils. Water, soil and crops can be managed 2. Privately owned lands can be improved 3. Market competitive paddy can produce Arugungu, Flood Plain, December 987 Inland Valley The contribution on Kebbi Rice Revolution made evolve the sawah technology from inland valleys to Flood plains and Deltas (Kebbi, Nigeria) This is an example of micro sawah plots common in and Nigeria, showing sawah evolution from nonsawah to irrigated standard sawah system.
