 ABSTRACT

Transplanting after repeated puddling is the conventional method of rice (Oryza sativa L) growing which is not only intensive water user but also cumbersome and laborious. Different problems like lowering water table, scarcity of labour during peak periods, deteriorating soil health demands some alternative systems of rice cultivation to sustain productivity of rice as well as natural resources. During the past years efforts have been tried to find out alternatives to the traditional method of rice cultivation. System of rice intensification and drum seeding a resource conservation methods were found to be an efficient alternative to increase the rice production as it require less water, less seed, reducing cost of cultivation and saving labor over time. Systems of rice cultivation offers certain advantages viz., it is less drudgery, early crop maturity, better soil physical conditions for following crops and less methane emission.

Keywords: Systems of rice cultivation, System of rice intensification, Aerobic rice, Direct seeded rice and Drum seeding.
