The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) is actively involved in promoting ratoon technology in rice production.
Ratoon technology refers to the practice of cultivating a second crop from the stubble or the base of a previously harvested crop, primarily used in sugarcane and rice cultivation.
This technique allows for a second harvest without needing to replant, thus saving on resources like seeds and labour.
