Beta, direct seeded rice is where we plant seeds straight into dry fields, saving maybe 30% water compared to transplanting. Weeds become a devil, chokhing the young crop. Yes, yield can dip—but when the monsoon fails, the question isn't about less grain, it's about any grain at all. In my father's time, we watched a transplanted field parch and die; the next year, our direct-seeded crop at least gave us something to eat.
