“…Commonly practiced traditional rice cultivation system involves raising of seedlings in the nursery bed, and transplantation of 20-25 days seedlings in the rice field prepared by soil puddling. Puddled transplanting system of rice cultivation causes wastage of water through evaporation and percolation, and enhances the formation of hard plough plan that reduces soil aeration (Kaur & Singh, 2017;Farooq et al, 2011). The cultivation of transplanted rice requires high water and labor cost that drastically reduces the economic benefit of the farmers (Kaur & Singh, 2017;Pandey & Velasco, 1999).…”

For the betterment of water and nutrient use efficiency, low labor cost and minimum emission of green-house gas an alternative cultivation technique of sowing the seeds directly in the rice field can be practiced.…”

Agricultural farming is a complicated system that involves continuous interactions among its multiple components over a period of time. The series of activities involved in farming practices have enormous contributions to ensure food security for the humanity. With the passage of time, agriculture sector faces diversified challenges like high food demand of rapidly growing population, scarcity of available resources and adverse effect of climate change. In developing countries like Bangladesh, food sufficiency is mostly achieved through intensive farming which has detrimental effects on natural resources, surrounding environment, and the whole ecosystem. The review attempts to discover the potentials of conservation agriculture practices for sustainable crop productivity and economic profitability of smallholder farmers in Bangladesh. This study revealed that conservation farm management practice is a cost-effective modernized technique that has the ability to accelerate crop productivity and farmers income through minimum utilization of agricultural inputs. Although the concept of conservation agriculture is widely practiced in other parts of the world, Bangladesh is experiencing a slow rate of adoption during the last few years. The policy implication of the study suggests that the government should take coordinated and combined initiatives involving both public and private sector organizations to incorporate this concept into the mainstream agricultural system of Bangladesh.

“…The residue burning is indirectly affecting as many as seven SGD's of United Nations viz., no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, climate action, life on land, and life below water [23]. The challenges posed by rice-wheat cropping system can be addressed by adopting numerous approaches such as crop diversification, intensification, precision nutrient management such as foliar application of nutrients, residue incorporation, incorporation of farmyard manure, and conservation agriculture [9,[24][25][26][27][28].…”

Effect of Rice Residue Retention and Foliar Application of K on Water Productivity and Profitability of Wheat in North West India

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rice–wheat cropping system being the backbone of food security in South-Asia has resulted in soil health deterioration, declining water table, and air pollution affecting livability index of the region. The effect of rice residue retention (RRR), irrigation levels and foliar application of K on wheat grain yield (GY), water use efficiency (WUE) and profitability was tested over three years. RRR increased wheat GY (5224 kg ha−1), above-ground biomass (AGBM = 11.9 t ha−1), tillers per square meter (TPM = 469) and grains per meter square (GrPMS = 13,917) significantly. Relative water content (RWC = 93.8) and WUE (2.45 k gm−3) were also increased significantly by RRR. Consequently, profitability (Net return = 624.4 $ and Benefit to cost (B:C) ratio) was enhanced. Foliar application of K enhanced GY (5151 kg ha−1), AGBM (12 t ha−1), RWC (94.1), SPAD (52.2), WUE (2.40 kg m−3), net returns (625.2 $) and BC ratio (1.62) significantly. RRR increased GY (15.66%) and WUE (17.39%) with additional revenue of 151 $ with only one irrigation at the CRI stage (ICS). RRR adopted over 10% of the area can earn 187 million-US$ annually. RRR if adopted over existing practice on a large area would reduce environmental degradation with an enhanced income to small and marginal farmers.
