Revolutionizing Rice Farming: Direct Seeding Saves Water and Labor
Direct seeding of rice is a promising method to save water and labor in rice cultivation. Compared to traditional methods, direct seeding requires less water and can save up to 25% of water usage. This approach also helps in conserving resources and can lead to a water saving of 9-57%. Additionally, direct seeding with reduced tillage prevents the formation of hard pan in the soil, which can restrict root growth. Overall, direct seeding rice culture is an efficient way to manage irrigation water and improve sustainability in rice production.
