Double Transplanting

·           Broadcast less quantity of seeds (6-8 kg /ha) in puddled fields during the middle of May using available surface or groundwater.

·           After 25 days, again transplant the seedlings in another small field where the seedlings are grown for 20 days.

·           When the seedlings reach the age of about 50-55 days, again transplant them in the main field.

·           This technique can withstand extended dry spells and prolonged water inundation in the low-lying fields.
