Evaluation of cropping method for perennial ratoon rice: Adaptation of SALIBU to triple-cropping in Vietnam.

ABSTRACT: Background: Generally, the yield of ratoon rice is at most 50% of the main crop. However, a cropping method "SALIBU" achieved more yield than the main crop and enables the perennial cropping. Although the SALIBU method is implementing 10 additional management practices to conventional method in Indonesia, the effect of each management practice is unclear. Methodology: We evaluated the effect size using an L ₁₆ orthogonal array design pot experiment in triple-cropping rice in Vietnam. The robustness was checked by duplicating the experiment under standard and poor conditions. Results and Discussion: Positive large effects were shown in the poor conditions only.  Cutting twice most affected the number of ratoon tillers. Importantly, the effect was positive und
