ABSTRACT

Rice research in India during the last century has resulted in the development of
important technologies, adoption of which has helped in keeping rice production growth
rate ahead of the population growth rate. However, the appalling paucity of water
threatens the sustainability of the irrigated rice ecosystem these days. Such water shortage
in many rice growing areas is prompting a search for production systems that use less
water to produce rice. Though several strategies are being pursued to save water in
irrigated rice ecosystem, water losses still hang on high since all those systems use
prolonged periods of flooding. Aerobic rice systems, wherein the crop is established via
direct seeding in unpuddled, non flooded fields and managed intensively as an upland
crop, are among the most promising approaches of water saving. Achieving higher rice
grain yields under irrigated aerobic conditions requires better weed management practices
and effective utilization of resources that reduce the cost of cultivation. Hence, the
research to improve aerobic rice yields should focus on primarily on efficient weed
management to make rice cultivation more efficient in terms of returns on farmer
investments and use of water resources.
