"System of Rice Intensification" of cultivation, in which alternate wetting and drying of rice fields is practised, results in :
1. Reduced seed requirement
2. Reduced methane production
3. Reduced electricity consumption

Select the correct answer using the code given below :

Correct Option: 1, 2 and 3

The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) involves practices such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) of rice fields, younger seedlings, and wider spacing. This results in significantly reduced seed requirements (Statement 1), reduced methane production due to intermittent aeration preventing continuous anaerobic conditions (Statement 2), and often reduced water/electricity consumption for irrigation (Statement 3). All statements are correct.
