Crop planting techniques i.e., CE₁-Conventional puddled transplanted rice (CT- TPR), CE₂- Wide bed Transplanted rice (W Bed-TPR); Fertilizer management strategies i.e., N₁- Control, N₂- 100% RDF + ZnSO ₄ 25 kg ha⁻¹, N₃- 125% RDN + ZnSO ₄ 25 kg ha⁻¹, N₄- STCR based NPK application + ZnSO₄ 25 kg ha⁻¹, N₅- N₂+ FYM (5 t ha⁻¹), N₆- N₂+ FYM (5 t ha⁻¹) + PSB (5 kg ha⁻¹)+ Azotobactor 20 kg ha⁻¹, N₇- 75% RDN + FYM (5 t ha⁻¹) + ZnSO₄ 25 kg ha⁻¹, N₈-75% RDN + FYM (5 t ha⁻¹) + PSB (5 kg ha ⁻¹) + Azotobactor 20 kg ha⁻¹ + ZnSO4 25 kg ha⁻¹, N₉- Organics Practices @ FYM (30 t ha⁻¹)+PSB (5 kg ha⁻¹) + Azotobactor 20 kg ha⁻¹ + ZnSO₄ 25 kg ha⁻¹, *NS- Non-significant, PERC_V = Percolation water volume, TWU_V= Total water use volume, WP_IRRI= productivity of water in applied irrigation.

WP_TCW, productivity of water needed in crop total water and WP_ETC = productivity of water in as evapo-transpiration only.
