Direct seeding in rice is a popular practice that saves cost of crop establishment. However, weeds pose a serious challenge to crop growth and yield in direct seeded rice. To ensure uniform crop stand and manage weed growth, a novel method of use of Pre- seeded mulch has been developed. Pre-seeded mulch developed from organic waste materials have a residence time of 60 days in soil. Paddy seeds fixed in these sheets, when laid in the field got 95% seed germination. Weed control efficiency in terms of weed count and weed dry matter, of the technology is significantly higher than the hand weeding. Rice yield and yield attributes were also high for the pre- seeded mulch technology compared to wet seeding and transplanting.

The AICRP on long term fertilizer experiment was established at RARS Pattambi in 1997 and the experiment is being conducted continuously in the same field. The objective of the experiment was to study the effect of long term application of fertilizers and manures on growth and yield of the plant and monitoring of soil quality. The experiment consists of 12 treatments. The LTFE experiment with 20 years cropping history revealed the superiority of integrated nutrient management with 100 per cent NPK along with FYM over the sole use of fertilizers. However in situ growing of dhaincha (Sesbania aculeata) also offer a good solution for integration of manures and fertilizers. Integrated nutrient management and in situ green manuring with daincha recorded higher grain and straw yield and the growth parameters corroborated the trends in yield.Keywords
