Land
Land preparation is important to ensure that the rice field is ready for planting. A well-prepared field controls weeds, recycles plant nutrients, and provides a soft soil mass for transplanting and a suitable soil surface for direct seeding. This is important for effective weed control.
Spacing
Optimal plant spacing may also be achieved through this method. Transplant 2-3 seedlings of 15-21 days wet-bed or dry-bed grown seedlings at 20 x 20 cm spacing. Closer spacing (15 x 15 cm or 10 x 10 cm) can be found on the availability of planters and the cost of transplanting.
Plant time
The varieties grown during this season are mostly varieties of short duration ranging from 90 to 110 days. The main rice growing season in the country is ‘Kharif’. It is known as winter rice as per the harvest time. The sowing time of winter (Kharif) rice is June-July and it is harvested in November-December.
