SEEEDLING THROWING METHOD

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.
