Seed treatment – It is done with
bavistine at the rate of 2 g/kg seed and Imidacloropid 70 WS at the rate of 5
g/kg seed.
Field preparation
- The field is kept ponded for at least 2 days before transplanting. The
ponded water is drained and soil is kept at saturation just before transplanting.
Sowing/transplanting
– Prepare mat nursery. Mat nurseries are prepared on tray (size vary with
type of transplanter). Mixture of soil and compost layer to a height of 1.5-2.0
cm is placed on it. Sprouted seeds are then spread to a density of 700-1000
g/m. Water is sprinkled as and when required to avoid water stress. Seedlings
are ready for transplanting in 14 days. Seedlings are transplanted in the field
with the help of Mechanical Transplanter.
Fertilizer
application - 80:40:40 NPK. Full dose of PK and 25% of N is applied as basal.
Remaining 50% N at maximum tillering and 25% at panicle initiation stage.
Water management - Maintain 3-5 cm
water throughout
Weed management – Apply
Bispyribac sodium @ 30 g/ai ha as early post emergence and Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl
