Seed rate:
For transplanting 20‐25 Kg, for direct seeding 16‐20 Kg and for SRI method 2 Kg seed per acre is
required.
Seed Treatment:
Treat the seed with carbendazim 3g/Kg seed for dry seed treatment and soak the seed in lit of
water containing 1g of carbendazim for 24 hrs for wet seed treatment.
Seed Dormancy:
For breaking seed dormancy treat the seed with 0.63% (6.3ml/lit of water) of Conc. Nitric acid for
24 hours and after washing incubate for another 24 hours.
Nursery:
Select area of nursery which has good irrigation and drainage facility
Puddle the nursery field to 2‐3 times at an interval of 5‐7 days so as to minimize the percolation
losses of water and nutrients.
Prepare channels for proper drainage
Soak the paddy seed for 24 hrs and incubate for another 24 hrs before sowing of sprouted seed in
nursery
Sow sprouted seed @ 5kg per cent of nursery bed and 25 kg of seed is sufficient for one acre of
main field.
Sowing in nurseries should start during 1st fort night of June for Kharif and 2 nd fort night of
December.
Apply 40 kg FYM, 12 kg SSB and 2 kg MOP/10 cent nursery area, 4 kg Urea, 1.2 kg carbofuran 3G, 1
spray of tricyclazole @.6/litr. after 15 days of germination.
Weed Control:
Weed growth should be checked during first four weeks after transplanting (two hand weedings at
20 and 40 days after transplanting).
Application of Butachlor @ 1.25 /acre (or) Pretilachlor @ 600 ml (or) Anilophos @ 500 ml /acre
Oxadiargyl @ 35g/ac by mixing 25 kg of sand when monocot and sedges dominates at 3‐5 DAT to control
grasses and sedges effectively.
To control broad‐leaved weeds, apply 2,4 –D granules @ 8‐10 kg/acre at 3‐5 DAT.
Spray Pyrazosulfuron @ 80g/ac at 8‐10 DAT or Ethoxy sulfuron @ 50g/ac at 10‐12 DAT.
Spray 2,4 D Sodium salt (Fernoxone 80% WP) at 2g /l of water at 20 DAT to control broad‐leaved
weed if any with 200 litre of spray fluid per acre.
Spray Bispyribac sodium 10SC@ 80ml/acre after 20 ‐ 25 DAT to control monocot weeds. Cono‐
weeding: Weeding can be done by cono‐weeder in line transplanted areas. First weeding should be done
on fourteen days after transplanting and this should be continued at 7‐10 days interval afterwards. At
least two or three weedings are required. This practice of churning of soil seems to improve soil structure
and increases the aeration of the soil. Thus the incorporation of weed biomass into soil results in
enrichment of CO2 near root zone, increases the biological activities, increases soil microbes population
and activities, results in better nutrient availability in soil and uptake by plants.
For effective control of weeds maintain a thin film of water at the time of weedicide application.
Fertilizer recommendation:
a) Nursery
Basal fertilization with 0.5 kg of `N’; 0.5 kg of `P’ and 0.5 Kg of `K’ per every 100 sq.mt is required
to get robust seedlings, followed by another 0.5 kg `N’ at 12 days after sowing.
Spray ZnSO4 @ 2.0 g /l for correction of Zinc deficiency if deficiency is observed.
Spray 5‐10 g Ferrous sulphate (or) Ferrous ammonium sulphate with 0.5 to 1.0 gram of citric acid
per litre of water to correct Iron deficiency in the nursery crop.
b) Main field
Fertilizer should be applied as per the recommendations based on the soil test. @60‐30‐30 for up
lands, 80‐40‐40 for medium land and 100‐50‐50 kg NPK/ha for hybrids.
Apply Farm Yard Manure @ 10 Tons per ha.
Nitrogen is to be applied in three splits (at basal, at active tillering stage & at Panicle Initiation
stage) `P’ & `K’ may be applied as basal in heavy soils.
In case of light soils, `K’ may be applied in two equal splits i.e., at basal and at panicle initiation
stage.
Green manuring:
Green manuring is an important renewable source of input for building of soil fertility and supplementing
plant nutrients, especially nitrogen. This practice is more appropriate for irrigated agriculture, due to easy
mineralization of nutrients from the turned over plants in the soil. Green manures may be either
leguminous crops grown in in situ (Dhanicha Sesbania sps, Crotalaria sps) or non leguminous plants/ trees
(Gilicidia maculate, Pongamia; Calotropis etc) grown on bunds of waste lands for utilizing vegetative parts
for green leaf manuring of soils. In addition leguminous crops like cow pea, green gram and black gram are
used as green manure or incorporation of vegetative parts after harvesting seed.
Plant protection:
Pests
Cultural practices recommended for reducing the build up of insect pests:
Summer ploughing
Grow suitable resistant varieties
Use recommended doses of fertilizers
Clipping of the leaf tips of seedlings while planting
Adopt normal spacing
Formation of alleyways.
Alternate wetting and drying
Weed management
Chemical control
