Drainage of excess water if possible. • Spray clean water to clear up the leaves in nursery • If seedling damaged >50%, go for reseeding by dapog method • If the crop is transplanted and the damage is more than 50% in the main field, the rice crop may be re-transplanted from the community nursery/clonal tillers. • If transplanting is not possible and crop damaged >50%, sow pregerminated sprouted seeds of short duration rice variety on puddle soil with higher seed rate and closer spacing. • Once flood water recedes, weeding and gap filling should be initiated immediately. • Control blast, brown spot, sheath rot and sheath blight diseases, case worm and leaf folder pests after water recedes. • If transplanting is possible in time within July, select rice varieties suitable for semi-deep low lands or varieties suitable for growing under submergence up to 14 days (Sub 1 series varieties). Rice varieties with medium duration (125-130 days) can be selected for transplanting if flood water recedes early and transplanting is possible by mid-August. If flood water recedes in the last part of August, short-duration rice varieties (90-105 days) can be transplanted. |
