Abstract: This study is about the experiments of preserving rice seed in panicle and transplanting the seed as a single seedling approach, applying least production inputs to produce rice in the light of the Islamic farming. Verse 47 and 261 of the 12th and 2nd chapter of the Holy Qur'an outlines the technologies on keeping rice seed in ears and single seedling. The laboratory and field tests reveal that seed in panicle results in 100% germination along with statistically significant length of root, shoot and dry weight compared with the market seed following least significant difference. The technologies require 100% less seed cost, 80% of seedling, 33% of fertiliser and 50% of irrigation cost with an increase of yield by 21.50%. As such, the cost and benefit ratio analysis shows that the marginal farmers are highly benefited to curb their production cost by lifting rice seed in panicle following a single seedling transplantation method.
