Irrigation water savings by bed planting of rice production over conventional method.

Method of fertilizer application	Water required at different times of irrigation (cm)					Water saved over conventional method (%)
	Land preparation	Transplanting	Reproductive stage	Rainfall	Total
Fertilizer broadcasting in raised bed	—	6.35a	41.62b	52.50a	100.47b	42%
Fertilizer broadcasting in conventional plot	13.06	6.20b	70.90a	52.50a	142.66a
Coefficient of variation CV (%)	—	3.54	7.25	6.33	4.37
Level of significance	—	**	**	n.s.	**

Where n.s. and **represent probability of >0.05 and ≤0.01, respectively. In a column figures with same letter do not differ significantly, whereas figures with dissimilar letter differ significantly (𝑃≤0.01).
