Direct seeding is becoming a key alternative transplanting in rice and has spread quickly in
Andhra Pradesh, where unpredictable weather, fewer rainy days, lack of labor and higher
production costs are common. This study looks at how changes in climate, such as variations in
rainfall and temperature, recommend the use of Direct-seeded rice (DSR) as a farming method.
DSR involves planting rice seeds directly into the field instead of growing them in water and then
transplanting them. The results show that using DSR options greatly improves rice productivity
and resilience, while also saving labor, water, and energy. It also helps get the next crop started
15 days earlier than the traditional puddled transplanted rice method. The study suggests that
adopting DSR can help maintain food security and crop resilience even in tough weather conditions.
