Rice Cultivation in Indo-Gangetic Plain as Influenced by Methods of Establishment – A Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Manual transplanting into puddled soil is a traditional method of rice cultivation. With the increasing scarcity of water, labor and energy this method of rice cultivation becomes less profitable and sustainable. So, there is a need to find alternative rice establishment methods to the traditional practice of manual transplanting in puddled soil. In rice, planting methods have an impact on the growth, yield attributes, yield, maturity, quality parameters besides physical conditions of soil, water requirement and cost of cultivation and labour requirement. Direct seeded rice showed better initial establishment and gave comparable yield to transplant rice. Direct seeded rice takes less time to maturity and gave higher water productivity, net return and benefit: cost ratio than transplanted rice.
