Seed Rate :  
  • 7 - 8 kg for single seedling per hill                                             
  • 12 - 25 kg/ha for two seedlings per hill wherever difficulty in establishment of rice is seen      

Preparation of nursery area:


 

  • prepare 100 m2 nurseries to plant 1 ha. select a levelled area near the water source. 
    • spread a plastic sheet or used  polythene gunny bags on the shallow raised bed to prevent roots growing deep into soil.           



      Preparation of soil mixture:

      • four (4) m3 of soil mix is needed for each 100 m2 of nursery.
      • Mix 70%  soil + 20% well - decomposed pressmud / bio - gas slurry / FYM + 10% rice hull. 
      incorrate inthe soil mixture 1.5 kg of powdered di - ammonium phosphate or 2 kg 17 - 17 - 17 NPK fertilizer.   






      Blending soil mixture 

      •  Filling in soil mixture: place a wooden frame of 0.5 m long , 1 m wide and 4 cm deep divided into 4 equal segments of on the plastic sheet or banana leveler. fill the frame almost to the top with the soil mixture.

      • pre - germinating the seeds 2 days before swing : soak the seed for 24 h, drain and incubate the
        soaked seeds for 24 h  , sow when the seed sprout and radical ( seed root ) grows to 2-3 mm long.

      • Soil application of bio fertilizer : Application of Azospirillum  @ 2kg and mycorrhizal fungi @ 5 kg for 100 m2 nursery area.

      Showing & watering 


      Sowing:

      • Sow the pre-germinated seeds weighing 90 -100 g / m-2 (100g dry seed may weigh 130g after sprouting) uniformly
      • Cover them with dry soil to a thickness of 5mm.           
      • Sprinkle water immediately using rose can to soak the bed and remove the wooden frame
      • And continue the process until the required area is completed.

      Watering:

      • Water the nursery with rose can as and when needed (twice or thrice a day) to keep the soil moist.  
      • Protect the nursery from heavy rains for the first 5 DAS. At 6 DAS, maintain thin film of water all around the seedling mats.
      • Drain the water 2 days before removing the seedling mats for transplanting.


      Main field Preparation 

      • Puddled lowland prepared in transplanted section
      • Perfect leveling is a pre- requisite for the water management proposed hereunder
