Direct Seeding Method

Context

Private sector investment in agriculture technologies will help to boost crop yields or cutting production costs for Indian farmers majorly like the Direct Seeding Method for Rice Cultivation.

What is Direct Seeding Method?

Direct Seeding of Rice refers to the process of establishing a rice crop from seeds sown in the field rather than by transplanting seedlings from the nursery.
It has been recognized as the principal method of rice establishment since 1950’s in developing countries.
The cultivation technique involves fertilising and planting directly into the soil in one or two steps. The soil is mildly disturbed by the seeding machine.
Direct seeding is can be done by sowing of pre-germinated seed into a puddled soil (wet seeding) or standing water (water seeding) or prepared seedbed (dry seeding).

Fact Check:

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the seed of the grass species Oryza glaberrima or Oryza sativa.
With a high carbohydrate content, rice is known to provide instant enery.
Rice consumes about 4,000 - 5,000 litres of water per kg of grain produced. But it is no aquatic crop: it has great ability to tolerate submergence. Water creates unfavourable conditions for weeds, by cutting off sunlight and aeration to the ground.
India is the largest consumer of rice crop. Not only this, India is also the second largest producer of rice, after China.
