Seedling Throwing Method Of Stand Establishment

• 20 days old seedlings of short duration rice varieties


• Requirement of seedlings will be approximately 20% more than the line planting or equal to random planting.


• The seedlings are thrown into the puddled leveled field by labour without using force.


• Suitable for all seasons except Thaladi or heavy rain season.


• 50% labour shaving as compared to line planting and 35% to random planting.


• Up to 7-10 days of seedling throwing care should be taken to maintain thin film of water
  (similar to wet seeded rice).


• Other cultural operations are same as in transplanted rice


• Grain yield will be equal to line planted crop and 10-12% higher than random planted crop.
