Direct seeded rice (DSR) matlab you sow seeds straight into the field, instead of transplanting seedlings. It saves about 30% paani, as you don't need that flooded nursery. Weeds bahut problem hain because standing water isn't there to suppress them, so you must be vigilant. And haan, yield thodi kam ho sakti hai if management isn't perfect.
But mera khud ka anubhav, watching my uncle's field in Kangra, yeh batata hai ki that 'yield drop' is a small price for the water we save for our downstream neighbours—and for the quiet of a morning not spent in that back-breaking transplanting.
