Professor Shashidhar Reddy is working on this strain within the GKVK, the University of Agricultural Science Bangalore with grant support from the Rockfeller foundation. Manohar, the student explains the advantge of aerobic rice. Prof Srinivasmurthy also pitches in. Significant advantages of aerobic rice are Less water requirement. No flood irrigation. Watering once in 5 days Equal productivity as other rice. Less disease. Less methane emission. Huge advantages which need to be worked upon further to take it to our farmers. Can Arghyam too rise to this challenge?
