Alternative Wetting and Drying (AWD) is a technique or a tool called “pani pipe” where we can save the water up to 20-30% and also reduces the greenhouse gas emission up to 25-45%. ICAR-Taralabalu Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Davanagere conducted the Frontline demonstrations in kharif, during 2024 and 2025 in the rice transplanted regions of Bharda command area of Davangere district on AWD technology against the Farmer Practice (Submergence) with an objective of reduction in the cost of production, saving the water without effecting the crop yields. The technologies were mechanical transplanting along with AWD and integrated crop management practices were followed in the demonstration plots. The extension gap and technology gap were 2.71 qha-1 and 10.27 qha-1 respectively. The higher yield, higher gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio were 54.73 qha-1, Rs.153380 ha-1, Rs.73690 ha-1 and 1.83 respectively recorded in demonstration plot against the farmers practices of continuous flooding. Reduction in the cost of production and higher yield led to increase in gross and net returns, water saving (20.45%) in demo plots. This had created awareness among the farming community and inspiration to other paddy growing farmers in the command area to adopt the technology.
