Dear Tirso,
This doesn't sound good. Surely someone in the SRI-Nepal network can
give you some advice. On my visit to Morang district a month ago, I
talked with dozens and dozens of farmers who had used SRI methods, and
none suggested anything at all like this. Possibly there is some soil
nutrient problem that needs to be identified and remedied.
