Aerobic rice- rice that grows well under dry conditions in the absence of flooding- offers a promising means to combat the water looming crisis.Farmers can use 30-40% less irrigation water by growing aerobic rice.It is basically a resource conservation practice which has got high water use efficiency by cutting down the water losses caused due to seepage and percolation. Weed management is the major challenge in aerobic rice, so to reduce the weeds, standardization of herbicides and their application time with different row spacing is needed or essential fro the efficient weed management and crop growth.
