3rd Grading Agri Crop 11 Module 5

This document provides information on planting crops, specifically rice. It discusses various planting methods like transplanting, direct seeding, dibbling, and drilling. It explains that transplanting involves removing seedlings from the nursery and replanting them elsewhere. Direct seeding can be done by broadcasting pre-germinated seeds or using equipment like a drum seeder. The document also provides details on proper transplanting techniques, including recommended spacing, seedling rates, and timing of pulling seedlings. It includes sample questions to evaluate understanding of the material.

After studying this module learners will be able to know;

 Methods of Planting
 Rate, Distance and depth planting

LESSON PROPER:

What is transplanting?

TRANSPLANTING – is the process of removing aa plant from the place where it has
been growing and replanting it in another. The major requirement is transplanting
(especially a larger plants) is a sufficient water supply, since the roots are almost
inevitably injured in the process.

Mechanical Seeder – a machine used in direct seeding of pre – Germinated seeds in


either lowland or upland field.

Drum Seeder – an equipment used for direct seeding of pre – germinated seeds, either
lowland or upland field condition.

PROPER WAY OF PULLING SEEDLINGS

1. Irrigate the seedbed overnight to a depth of at least 3-5 centimeters


2. Hold the seedlings close to the base and gently pull them.
3. Another method is to use a scythe to cut through the soil half inch below the
stem while ensuring that adequate roots of the seedlings are retained.
4. Bundle them in any convenient size for ease of handling.

Seedling raised through DAPOG METHOD are prepared following the steps below.

1. Cut the bed into convenient size at least one square foot and roll each piece. Do
not prune the seedlings.
2. Roll the matted Dapog seedlings
3. Tie the rolled seedlings

PULLING AND TRANSPLANTING

 Pulling of seedlings will be done one day before transplanting. According to CBLM
year 3, early maturing rice varieties that can be harvested from 110 to 115 days
after transplanting will be transplanted from 16 – 18 days after sowing. However,
late maturing varieties will be transplanted from 20-25 days after sowing.
PROPER TRANSPLANTING OF RICE SEEDLINGS FOLLOWING RATE DISTANCE AND
DEPTH OF PLANTING

1. Straight row planting – Seedlings are transplanted in straight rows where


definite spacing is maintained between plants. Use guides or markers to attain
straight rows. Hold the seedlings in between the thumb and the first and
second finger and insert these gently into soil. Plant seedlings in spots indicated
by guides or markers.
For inbred varieties of rice, transplant 2-3 seedlings per hill and 1-2 seedlings
for the hybrid varieties at a depth of 2-3 centimeters.
For highland rice culture, cold tolerant traditional varieties and transplanted
30-45 days at a distance of 15cm x 20 cm with 2-3 seedlings per hill.

2. Random Transplanting – this method of transplanting has no specific distance


in planting. However, planters tend to plant too close or too far which
sometimes adversely affect the potential yield of the variety and use of rotary
weeder. Seedlings raised in Dapog method should be transplanted 4-7 seedlings
per hill using the straight row of random planting method.

METHODS OF PLANTING

Direct Seeding

 This method could be done in irrigated and dry rainfed planting. Direct seeding in
puddled soil is recommended in areas where irrigation facilities are costly, scarce
and just rely on rain.
 For land preparation follow the procedure in irrigated field for transplanting.
Follow the procedure in pre – Germinating the seeds. Broadcast 80-100 kg/ ha of
pre – germinated rice in well prepared and levelled paddies. A new technology has
been introduced with the use of a drum seeder. The drum seeder regulates the
distance of planting and the number of seeds per hill. For upland or rainfed
areas, pre – Germinated seeds are drilled in rows or in furrows at the rate of 2-3
inches seeds/hill at a distance of 20-30 centimeters. Drain the field following day
to facilitate uniform germination of seeds.
 Direct seeding of free germinated seeds using the drum seeder saves seeds and
facilitates mechanical weeding. Drum seeder regulates plant distance with fairly
low rate of seeds at 50 – 100kgs per hectare.

DIBBLING METHOD

 Seeds are dibbled in straight rows at 15cm x 15cm to 25cm x 25cm with 5-8 seeds per hill.
DRILLING METHOD
Seeds are planted in furrows made by plow with the same distance and rate of seeding
as in dibbling

IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER

 A day before transplanting




 , pull seedlings carefully to minimize seeding damage
 Clean and bundle seedlings for ease of transporting
 Random transplanting has no definite distance and alignment between plants
while straight row planting has uniform distance and spaces
 Direct seeding can be done by broadcasting or with the use of a drum seeder or
mechanical seeder. It requires less labor in planting.
