Explanation:

Due to shortage of labourers in Punjab and Haryana, farmers are now being encouraged to adopt ‘direct seeding of rice’ (DSR) in place of conventional transplanting. In DSR, there is no nursery preparation or transplantation. The seeds are instead directly drilled into the field by a tractor-powered machine. Recently, The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) in Ludhiana has developed a ‘Lucky Seed Drill’ that can both sow seeds and simultaneously spray herbicides to control weeds. In DSR, water is replaced by real chemical herbicides. Farmers have to only level their land and give one pre-sowing irrigation or rauni. It also saves water by not requiring flooding of fields. Hence both statements are correct.
