The need of providing a farmer friendly and cost-effective option for the paddy straw management is a major challenge. The present study investigated the performance of happy seeder technology for in situ paddy straw management under different mechanical field treatment T₂ (harvesting and straw management in two operations) and T₃ (harvesting and straw management in one operation) alongwith the yield, economic, and energy analysis and compared it with T₁ (farmer’s practice). It was observed that the average actual field capacity was 10.85% more for T₃ than T₂. The average fuel consumption was less, and field efficiency was more for T₃ as compared to T₂. The maximum yield (5270 kg ha⁻¹) was obtained with T₁ having maximum coefficient of variation (3.84%) followed by T₃ and T₂ having yield 5262 and 5215 kg ha⁻¹ with coefficient of variation 1.06 and 1.80%. The maximum net return was observed in T₃ followed by comparable net return in T₂ with benefit cost ratio of 3.83 and 3.69, respectively. The energy consumption in wheat establishment was minimum in T₃ and maximum in T₁. Also, the consumption of direct and indirect energy sources is maximum in T₁ as compared to T₂ and T₃. The saving in energy consumption in T₂ and T₃ is 47.06 and 54.00% over T₁. The results indicates that the happy seeder technology is the efficient method for sowing wheat after combine harvesting of paddy (T₂ and T₃) and has the additional advantage of avoidance of paddy straw burning, i.e., diminish the environmental pollution.

需要为稻草管理提供一种对农民友好且具有成本效益的选择，这是一项重大挑战。本研究调查了快乐播种技术在不同机械田间处理 T ₂（收获和秸秆管理两次操作）和 T ₃（收获和秸秆管理一次操作）下的原位稻草管理性能以及产量、经济、和能量分析并将其与 T ₁（农民的做法）进行比较。据观察，T ₃的平均实际场容量比T _{2 高}10.85% 。与 T ₂相比，T ₃的平均油耗更低，田间效率更高. 获得最大产量(5270 kg ha ^-1 )，其中T ₁具有最大变异系数(3.84%)，其次是T ₃和T ₂具有5262和5215 kg ha ^-1，变异系数为1.06和1.80%。在 T ₃观察到最大净回报，其次是 T ₂的可比净回报，收益成本比分别为 3.83 和 3.69。在小麦建立能耗为T中最小₃和最大T中₁。此外，与 T ₂和 T ₃相比，直接和间接能源的消耗在 T _{1 中}最大. T ₂和T _{3 的}能耗比T ₁节省47.06%和54.00% 。结果表明，快乐播种技术是水稻（T ₂和T ₃）联合收获后播种小麦的有效方法，并具有避免稻草燃烧的额外优势，即减少环境污染。
