Agronomy, Muhammad Nawaz Establishemnt methods include direct seeding in dry soil by broadcast, direct seeding in dry soil Shareef University of Agriculture, by drill, transplanting of 30 days nursery in puddled soil and transplanting of 15 days nursey in Multan, Pakistan. puddled soil layed out using Randomized Complete Block Design keeping three replications. Results revealed that maximum chlorophyll fluorescence (0.791), no. of kernels per panicle *Corresponding author's email: (168), thousand kernal weight (18.03 g) and paddy yield (4302 kg/ha) was recorded from nursery husnainjawad@gmail.com transplanted rice during both years. Similarly direct seeding in dry soil by drill also resulted into maximum chlorophyll fluorescence, no. of kernels per panicle and paddy yield. Direct seeding 1A9rt/i0c4le/2r0e2ce1ived on: by broadcast method resulted into poor plant population (279), low paddy yield (3200 kg/ha) and Accepted for publication: lowest water use eficiency (1.67). Highest plant population per unit area (407) was obtained 14/06/2021 by direct seeding of rice in dry soil with drill. Higher water use eficiency (2.14) and benefit cost ratio (1:1.67) was recorded for direct seeding in dry soil by drill as compared to both 15 and 30 days transplanted nursery. Direct seeding of rice in dry soil with drill can improve the water use eficiency with maximum economic returns.
