WET OR LOW LAND RICE CULT
IVATION
1. Transplanting in puddled field
2. Broadcasting sprouted seeds in puddled fields
Rice Cultivation in Lowland Areas
Transplanted Puddled Lowland Rice
Nursery Management
1. Wet Nursery
Nursery area
Select 20 cents (800 m2) of land area near to water source for
raising seedlings for one hectare.
Seed rate
30 kg for long duration
40 kg for medium duration
60 kg for short duration varieties and
20 kg for hybrids
CONVERSION METHOD
Transplanted Puddled Lowland Rice

Forming Seedbeds and sowing


 Mark plots of 2.5m breadth with channels 30 cm wide all
around the seedbeds.
 Length of the seed bed may vary from 8 to 10m
according to soil and slope of the land.
 Collect the puddled soil from the channel and spread on
the seedbeds or drag a heavy along the channel to lower
it, so that the seed bed is at a higher level.
 Level the surface of the seedbed, so that the water drains
into the channel. Sow the sprouted seeds uniformly on
the seedbed, having thin film of water in the nursery.

2. Dry Nursery
Nursery area
Select 20 cents (800 m2) of land area for raising seedlings for one
hectare.
Seed rate
30 kg for long duration
40 kg for medium duration
60 kg for short duration varieties and
20 kg for hybrids
Forming Seedbeds and sowing
• Dry ploughed field with fine tilth is required.
• Nursery area with sand and loamy soil status is more suitable for this
type of nursery.
• Plots of 1 to 1.5 m width of beds and channels may be formed. Length
may be according to the slope and soil. Raised beds are more ideal if the
soil is clayey in nature.
• Sowing may be dry seeding.
Seeds may be covered with
sand and finely powdered
well decomposed farm yard
manure.
• Irrigation may be done to
wet the soil to saturation.
• Optimum age for
transplanting – 4th leaf stage
• This type of nursery is handy
in times of delayed receipt of
canal water.
Main Field Preparation

1. Plough the land during summer to


economize the water requirement
for initial preparation of land.
2. Flood the field 1 or 2 days before
ploughing and allow water to soak
in. Keep the surface of the field
covered with water.
3. Keep water to a depth of 2.5cm at
the time of puddling. After
puddling perfect land levelling is
required
Manures and Basal Feritlizer application
Application of organic manures :
• Apply 12.5 t of FYM or compost or green leaf manure
@ 6.25 t/ha.
• Apply 22 kg urea / ha at the time of first puddling
while incorporating the stubbles of previous crop to
compensate immobilization of N by the stubbles.
• This may be done atleast 10 days prior to planting of
subsequent crop.
Biofertilizer application :
Mix 10 packets (2000 g)/ha of Azospirillum
and 10 packets (2000g/ha)of Phosphobacteria
Application of inorganic fertilizers
• Apply fertilizer nutrients as per soil test
recommendations.
• Blanket recommendation : 150:50:50 kg
N:P2O5:K2O /ha.
• Apply 25% of recommended N and K
fertilizers before transplanting.
• Recommended Phosphorus fertilizer may be
applied as basal and incorporated.
• Apply 25 kg of zinc sulphate with 50kg sand
just before transplanting.
Stand Establishment
Optimum age of seedlings for quick establishment
Optimum age of the seedlings is 18-22 days for short, 25-30
days for medium and 35-40 days for long duration varieties.
Planting depth

Effect of planting depth :. Deep transplanting causes retard rooting


and poor tillering.
Replant missing hills 10 days after transplanting. .
After transplanting, place excess seedling at the corner of field to
refilling the missing hills.
• Transplant 2-3 seedlings/hill for
short duration and 2
seedlings/hill for medium and
long duration varieties
• Shallow planting (3 cm) ensures
quick establishment and more
tillers.
• Deeper planting (> 5cm) leads to
delayed establishment and
reduced tillers.
• Allow a minimum row spacing
of 20 cm to use rotary weeder.
• Fill up the gaps between 7th and
10th DAT.
Water Management
1. Puddling and leveling minimizes the water
requirement.
2. At the time of transplanting, a shallow depth of
2cm of water is adequate since high depth of water
will lead to deep planting resulting in reduction of
tillering.
3. Maintain 2 cm of water up to seven days of
transplanting.
4. Critical stages of water requirement in rice are a)
panicle initiation, b)booting, c)heading and d)
flowering.
5. Provide adequate drainage facilities to drain excess
water. Last irrigation may be 15 days ahead of
harvest.
Area and Field Preparation
Area
• Direct wet seeding can be followed in all the areas
wherein transplanting is in vogue.
Field preparation
• On receipt of showers during the months of May - July
repeated ploughing should be carried out so as to
conserve the moisture, destroy the weeds and break the
clods.
• Flood the field 1 or 2 days before ploughing and allow
water to soak in. Keep the surface of the field covered
with water.
• Keep water to a depth of 2.5cm at the time of puddling.
Direct Wet Seeded Puddled Lowland Rice

Varieites
All the varieties recommended for transplanting can
do well under direct wet seeded conditions also.
However, the following varieties are more suited.
Manures and Basal Fertilizer application
Same as Transplanted Puddled Lowland
Rice.
Sowing
1. Follow a seed rate of 60 kg /
ha
2. Pre-germinate the seeds
3. Sow the sprouted seeds by
drum seeder or broadcast
uniformly with thin film of
water.
4. Dual cropping of rice-green
manure is economic for
nutrient budget and efficient
for grain production. For this
method use ‘TNAU Rice-
Green manure seeder’.
After cultivation:
Thinning and gap filling should be done 14 - 21 days after
sowing, taking advantage of the immediate rain.

Water Management
1. During first one week just wet the soil by thin film of
water.
2. Depth of irrigation may be increased to 2.5cm
progressively along the crop age.
3. Provide adequate drainage facilities to drain excess
water or strictly follow irrigation schedule of one day
after disappearance of ponded water. Last irrigation
may be 15 days ahead of harvest.
Harvesting

Drain the field 10 days before harvest

Threshing
Threshing can be done by beating with sticks against a log or
using thresher. . However, threshing by beating increases the
chances of broken grains at milling.
