Abstract

Direct Seeded Rice (DSR) has emerged as a sustainable alternative to traditional transplanting methods, offering water and labor savings. However, the shift to DSR practices raises questions about soil health management. This review delves into the intricate relationship between nutrient dynamics and soil microbial communities in DSR systems. The review elucidates the impact of DSR on nutrient cycling, discusses the alterations in soil microbial diversity and functions, and explores strategies to enhance soil health in DSR. By addressing these aspects, the review offers insights into the complexities of DSR from a soil health perspective and highlights research gaps for future exploration.

Keywords: Direct seeded rice (DSR), nutrient dynamics, soil microbial communities, soil health management, sustainable agriculture, future research directions
