Popularizing Direct Seeded Rice: Issues and Extension Strategies [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) is the technology which is water, labour and energy efficient along with eco-friendly characteristics. Flooded rice is a major source of methane emission, while the use of nitrogen fertilizers produces nitrous oxide; both are greenhouse gases linked to global warming.

Weedy rice: An expanding problem in direct‐seeded rice in the Philippines

Weed Biology and Management, 2020
AbstractWeedy rice is morphologically similar to cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.). It has biological characteristics that identify it as a weed. Its important weedy characteristics, that is, early and heavy seed shattering, makes it very difficult to control.

Rice direct seeding: Experiences, challenges and opportunities

Soil and Tillage Research, 2011
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world, and staple for more than half of the global population. Looming water crisis, water-intensive nature of rice cultivation and escalating labour costs drive the search for alternative management methods to increase water productivity in rice cultivation. Direct seeded rice (DSR) has received much

Direct Seeded Rice: Potential and Constraints in Punjab

Indian Journal of Economics and Development, 2016
Rice production contributes to global climate change through emissions of methane and nitrous oxide gases. Further water table is lowering at an alarming rate in Punjab due to excessive drawing of groundwater for rice cultivation. Water use in rice production, therefore, needs to be decreased by increasing water-use efficiency, decreasing seepage ...
