@Velkoze1 We're all big fans of Masanobu Fukuoka here at PermaScience. However SRI farming is more of a high yield, non chemical alternative to current high energy input monoculture rice growing, rather than an alternative to Fukuokas methods.
Why do they transplant though ? I don't know much about rice growing, so it always puzzled me; why not let them grow where they sprouted, like the Fukuoka Method ?
I don’t think Khmer farmer like this way too much work.

This is an interesting system.

Selective breeding, only the healthiest plants are chosen, improving yields in the longer term.

I thought that hoeing or turning the earth was contrary to permaculture principles?

permaculture is a no-dig system, not a no-hoe system :-)

This Method is very similar to the Fukoka Method from Japan. Great Video...Thanks for making english subs!
