"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:

1. Reduced seed requirement — Correct. SRI uses very young seedlings and usually single-seedling transplantation at wider spacing, so seed rate is much lower than conventional paddy cultivation.

2. Reduced methane production — Correct. Alternate wetting and drying avoids continuous flooding; this reduces anaerobic conditions in soil and therefore lowers methane emissions.

3. Reduced electricity consumption — Correct. Because fields are not kept continuously submerged, irrigation water requirement falls, which also reduces pumping needs and electricity use.

Therefore, all three statements are correct.
