Researchers have concluded that direct seeding of wheat into unploughed soil and with rice residues left behind is the best option to deal with crop residue burning problem. The study found that the 'Happy Seeder' based systems are on average 20% more profitable than the most common 'burnt' systems and almost 10% more than the most profitable burning options

धान की रोपाई के बाद असली खेती शुरू होती है- जब खरपतवार, पोषण प्रबंधन, पानी की मात्रा और नकली खाद जैसी चुनौतियाँ सामने आती हैं। वैज्ञानिकों के मुताबिक, यदि किसान इस चरण में जागरूक रहें तो उत्पादन भी बढ़ता है और लागत भी घटती है।

The government has been consistently promoting the production and consumption of millets for a variety of reasons. Besides being extremely nutritious and relatively cheap, millets, in comparison with wheat and paddy, consume very less water. Besides this, their farming doesn't call for urea or any other chemical making it environment-friendly

Direct Seeded Rice System, in which rice seeds are sown directly into the field as opposed to the traditional method of growing seedlings in a nursery, has the potential to bring down greenhouse gas emissions, use much less water, and reduce dependency on manual labour.
