Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage saved 25-46% fuel versus conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage could save 27-48% land preparation cost versus conventional tillage.
- Intervention effect Tillage options did not affect rice seedling emergence.
- Method / resource The flute type meter did not break seeds.
- Intervention effect Rice yields did not differ significantly among tillage treatments.
- Observation Bed formation had the lowest benefit-cost ratio due to higher input cost.
- Intervention effect Bed formation had a lower gross margin than the other tillage treatments.
- Observation Strip tillage performed better than the other two minimum tillage methods.
- Method / resource The planter reduced seeding time, fuel and labour costs versus the conventional method.
- Recommendation The authors recommend minimum tillage for dry seeded rice in High Barind Tract.
