The Punjab Agricultural University’s upgraded technology of direct seeding of rice — ‘Tar wattar DSR’, (good soil moisture) seems to have caught the fancy of the paddy farmers in Punjab as the rise in the area planted under the novel DSR technique indicates that farmers are moving away from the traditional practice of puddle transplanting. The Ludhiana-based PAU introduced the DSR technique in 2020, an improved version of earlier DSR (Dry) technique. In the new technique, pre-sowing irrigation is applied in a levelled field and the primed seed is then sown immediately.
