Direct seeding of rice needs a fillip to improve yield
An integrated package of management technologies must be developed to deal with the challenges of the DSR system and enable farmers to obtain yield levels comparable with those of the transplanted rice system. This requires strengthening of the multidisciplinary research system to provide solutions for the factors that reduce DSR rice yield. Participatory linkages need to be developed between farmers and other stakeholders to achieve assured maximisation of productivity.
