| Sumario: | This booklet provides a complete, step-by-step guide for Bangladeshi farmers on the principles and field practices of Direct Seeded Rice (DSR). It explains what DSR is, why farmers should adopt it, and how it compares to traditional transplanting. The document covers land preparation, weed management, herbicide schedules (PTOS and other protocols), seed selection, fertilizer management, irrigation practices, and crop establishment methods. It also outlines expected yield benefits, cost reductions, and environmental advantages. The booklet is designed to help scale conservation agriculture and low-input rice farming practices across Bangladesh.
