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
