The FIRB system involves sowing wheat on raised beds with furrows for irrigation, resulting in significant savings of water, seeds, and nutrients while maintaining or even increasing yield compared to traditional methods.

Question

Furrow Irrigated Raised Bed (FIR

B System has been adopted in wheat farming to improve resource use efficiency. How does the FIRB system specifically benefit wheat cultivation, and what are the exact savings in water, seeds, and nutrients compared to the conventional system?

A It increases water usage by 50%, improves soil aeration, and saves 10% seeds.

B It saves 25-40% water, 25-40% seeds, and 25% nutrients while maintaining or slightly increasing yield.

C It enhances soil compaction, leading to reduced weed pressure but increased fertilizer need.

D It decreases soil moisture retention, requiring additional irrigation intervals.

E It saves 80% water, 70% seeds, and 95% nutrients while increasing yield.
