Know about field preparation and nutrition management for rabi paddy cultivation!

Even in the rabi season, direct sowing of paddy is done by puddle soil in many places. So let’s know how to prepare the field and germinate and treat the seeds before sowing!

How to germinate paddy seed

First of all, the variety that has been chosen for sowing, immerse it in water in a vessel, stir it well after immersing it, so that the bad seed will float on top, take out the bad seed from the vessel, and Soak the seed for 18 – 20 hours in water and kept in shade, after completion of 18 to 20 hours, take out the paddy in gunny bags or clean cotton cloth, and as a seed treatment, apply Sprint (Carbendazim 25% + Mancozeb 50% WS) @ 35 gm per 10 kg of seed, broadcast evenly and mix well in the seed, and cover well with a straw or gunny bag, to maintain proper moisture, Keep spraying light water from time to time so that germination is good. On getting sufficient moisture and temperature, good germination will take place in 24 hours. Then after levelling it, sow it evenly in the prepared land. And if there is excess water in the field, remove it from the field.

Field preparation
