Information
Introducing yet another ingenious course, InsightsIAS is excited to announce our new initiative QUED – Questions from Editorials. Considering the number of questions that appeared from Editorials in previous year UPSC Prelims Examinations, we feel it is wise for students to cover Editorials from Prelims point of view as well in order to achieve that extra edge. Although, we have covered important editorials separately in our Editorial Section as well as under Secure Initiative, MCQ practice can prove to be crucial for better performance and guaranteed result.
We strongly recommend you at add QUED along with Static Quiz ,Current Affairs Quiz and RTM for your Daily MCQ practice.
We will be posting 5 MCQs at 11am everyday from Monday to Saturday on http://www.insightsonindia.com. QUED will be available under QUIZ menu.
We hope students utilize this initiative to the best of advantage. 🙂

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Consider the following statements regarding Direct Seeding of Rice (DSR).
- Here, the pre-germinated seeds are directly drilled into the field by a tractor-powered machine.
- Direct Seeding of Rice is Water efficient compared to the traditional method of sowing of seeds.
- Farmers prepare the seeds in the nursery through transplantation.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
What is Direct Seeding of Rice (DSR)?
Here, the pre-germinated seeds are directly drilled into the field by a tractor-powered machine.
There is no nursery preparation or transplantation involved in this method. Farmers have to only level their land and give one pre-sowing irrigation.
How is it different from conventional method?
In transplanting paddy, farmers prepare nurseries where the paddy seeds are first sown and raised into young plants.
The nursery seed bed is 5-10% of the area to be transplanted. These seedlings are then uprooted and replanted 25-35 days later in the puddled field.
Advantage of DSR:
Water savings. The first irrigation (apart from the pre-sowing rauni) under DSR is necessary only 21 days after sowing. This is unlike in transplanted paddy, where watering has to be done practically daily to ensure submerged/flooded conditions in the first three weeks.
Less Labour. About three labourers are required to transplant one acre of paddy at almost Rs 2,400 per acre.
Reduce methane emissions due to a shorter flooding period and decreased soil disturbance compared to transplanting rice seedlings.
