Rice is a crucial food crop in India, with most people relying on it for food. In Jharkhand, rice is usually grown by transplanting seedlings, but some areas use direct seeding due to water and labor issues. Transplanted rice performs better in terms of nutrients, weeds, and cost compared to broadcasted rice. Among direct seeding methods, drum seeding with proper spacing is as good as traditional methods, saving labor, time, and money while still producing good yields. This method also allows for earlier harvesting.
