Descripción
Ricecheck, a best management practices extension program for rice production in Australia,
was developed by the NSW Department of Primary Industries advisory staff, Finley, in 1986.
The program is based on eight best management practice recommendations called ‘Key
Checks’ that are considered essential for achieving high yields. Economic analysis of the
program reveals that there are significant financial, social and environment benefits from the
adoption of the program. The results further reveal that the funds invested since 1986 by both
NSW Department of Primary Industries and the Rural Industries Research and Development
Corporation have been sound investments.
