Master Cereal Crop Production – Notes, Case Studies & Practical Insights – with Rahul

Advantages of DSR

  • Reduce cost of production.
  • Reduce cost of tillage in following order.

i.e. ZT-DSR > CT-dry > DSR > wet DSR > Transplanted rice.

  • Avoidance of problem and cost of nursery bed preparation , seedling raising , uprooting , transporting , transplanting .
  • Crops can be harvested 7-10 days earlier.
  • Increase input use efficiency , fertilizer , irrigation water , etc.
  • Reduce women’s durdgery.
  • Address the problem of labor shortage.

 

 

Limitations / Disadvantages of DSR

  • Problem in crop stand establishment due to weather stress (drought and flooding ) , damage caused by pest like rat , bird.
  • Weed problem is higher than in transplanted rice.
  • Poor availability of technicians and machines for ZT-DSR.
