\u2022 Due to shortage of labourers in Punjab and Haryana, farmers are now being encouraged to adopt \u2018direct seeding of rice\u2019 (DSR) in place of conventional transplanting.<\/p>\n

\u2022 In transplanting, farmers prepare nurseries where the paddy seeds are first sown and raised into young plants.<\/p>\n
