Rice direct Seeding -Development of anaerobic Seeding technique in the tropics-

Description

[Synopsis]

Anaerobic seeding technique in which pregerminated seeds are sown under the puddled soil surface has been developed to alleviate the constraints direct (erratic crop establishment, increased weed infestation, and lodging) in direct seeding culture of rice in the tropics. Germplasm accessions tolerant to flooded anaerobic soil were identified. The seeds were sown anaerobically by broadcasting or drilling. The technique was tested successfully in fields located in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Myanmar and was production was as high as in the case of transplanted rice.
