Rice is one of the most important food grains of India in terms of area, production and consumer preference. India produced about 105 MMT of rice in 2015-16 accounting for 23% of global production, becoming the largest producer in the world after China. Rice-wheat cropping system is a widely practised cropping system in India covering about 9.5 m ha. Wheat is sown immediately after rice and there is little time available between harvesting of rice and planting of wheat which compelled farmers to adopt mechanized harvesting of rice.

Abstract


Rice is one of the most important food grains of India in terms of area, production and consumer preference. India produced about 105 MMT of rice in 2015-16 accounting for 23% of global production, becoming the largest producer in the world after China. Rice-wheat cropping system is a widely practised cropping system in India covering about 9.5 m ha. Wheat is sown immediately after rice and there is little time available between harvesting of rice and planting of wheat which compelled farmers to adopt mechanized harvesting of rice.
