• Seven years of conservation agriculture in a rice–wheat rotation of Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia: Yield trends and economic profitability (2014, background): “reduced production costs, reduced erosion, stabilized crop yield, improved water productivity, adaptation to climatic variability (Hobbs, 2007; Bhushan et al., 2007; Jat et al., 2009; Malik et al., 2014) and long-term benefits, e.”
• Weed Management in Aerobic Rice in Northwestern Indo-Gangetic Plains (2009, background): “Aerobic rice systems, wherein the crop is established via direct seeding in non-puddled, non-flooded fields, are among the most promising approaches for saving water ( Wang et al, 2002 ; Tuong & Bouman, 2003 ; Bhushan et al, 2007 ).”
• Weed management improves yield and quality of direct seeded rice (2011, background): “In the backdrop of the declining water resources and reduced availability of the labor, the conventionally flooded rice system is losing its sustainability and economic viability (Guerra et al. 1998; Bhushan et al. 2007).”
• Productivity and sustainability of the rice-wheat cropping system in the indo-gangetic plains of the Indian subcontinent: Problems, opportunities, and strategies (2012, background): “Similarly, Bhushan et al. (2007) realized irrigation water savings of 25% with no-till dry DSR compared with puddled transplanted rice when irrigation for both establishment methods was scheduled based on the appearance of hair-line cracks.”
• Weed management in direct-seeded rice (2016, background): “In addition to higher economic returns, DSR crops are faster and easier to plant, having shorter duration, less labour intensive, consume less water (Bhushan et al. 2007), conducive to mechanization (Khade et al. 1993), have less methane emissions (Wassmann et al. 2004) and hence offer an…”
• The growth and yield of a wet-seeded rice-ratoon rice system in central China (2017, background): “However, traditional seedling transplantation is associated with high energy and labor costs (Bhushan et al., 2007).”
