Feasibility of bed planting of Rice || Crop Reformer

Just after wheat, rice is the 2nd most important cereal crop of Pakistan. Basmati rice of collar tract of Pakistan has its identity and worldwide popularity due to its peculiar fragrance or aroma. In some parts of the world, where monsoon season is a regular feature, rice crop is also cultivated through direct seeding but more than 80 percent rice is planted through transplanting method. During the previous 2-3 decades, in addition to the climate changes, increase in cropping area, the deviation of India from Indus basin Treaty 1962 and power pumping of a huge share of Chenab river water, Pakistan has been drift to a water deficient country. Rice crop is conventionally cultivated through nursery transplanting. Owing to the water scarcity, farmers have partly been lead to plant rice through direct seeding technology. Direct seeding of rice has partly been proven successful in specific areas within rice zone and in other parts of the country having similar conditions. In this video we have directed the farmers that complete shifting of transplanted method to direct seeded rice may prove as suicidal attack on rice cultivation. It may be successful only in the heavy/clayey soils of rice zone where not only ample canal water is available but monsoon season is relatively more sure than central, south Punjab. Moreover, all varieties can not be grown through DSR, it require specific varieties, more nutritional requirements than transplanted crop. More severe attack of weeds and disease is faced than transplanted crop. Farmers should not be misguided. Specific training is required and laser leveling is compulsory for the adoption of this technology. #rice #cropreformer
