Sowing

  • Seed rate: 60 kg / ha

  • Use of pre-germinated seeds

  • Sow the seeds by drum seeder or broadcast uniformly with thin film of water.

  • Dual cropping of rice-green manure is economic for nutrient budget and efficient for grain production.

  • Manually drawn seeder has been used to sow pre-germinated paddy and green manure daincha crop (Sesbania aculeata) in alternate rows in puddled soil.

  • After one month of sowing the daincha crop was trampled by cono weeder.

  • Seeder sows four paddy rows and four daincha rows in a single pass. Paddy was sown at 60 kg/ha seed rate and green manure crop at 20 kg/ha seed rate.
