Abstract
Sustainable development amidst global climate change has been the topic of discussion on all scientific fronts. Agriculture practice and goals for research should also focus on sustainable goals like preserving soil health, increasing water productivity, minimizing environmental pollution, etc. This article highlights the advantages and the need to adopt the aerobic system of rice cultivation over the ongoing transplanted system of cultivation. This would not only save a huge amount of water but also help reduce the emission of greenhouse gas like methane and at the same time reduce nutrient losses. Suitable aerobic varieties such as CR Dhan 200, CR Dhan 201, CR Dhan 202, CR Dhan 203, CR Dhan 204, CR Dhan 205, CR Dhan 206, CR Dhan 207, CR Dhan 209 and CR Dhan 210 developed at this Institute need to be popularized and should be adopted by the farmers for sustainability in rice cultivation.Downloads
