Selecting Rice Varieties, Land preparation, Selecting and making the place nursery, Planting of Rice Seeds, care, fertilization, Post-harvest and harvesting
Hi all Steemit friends, how are you today? In this opportunaity I will continue to write about "How to Increase Rice Crop More Productive in Part2".
Before I forward to Part2, initially on about Selecting Rice Varieties, Land preparation, Selecting and making nurseries. That way, I have explained in the Part 1 discussion.
The rice planting certainly not separated from rice fields, the lowlands will be very wary of planting rice during rainy season, usuallyn floods come and drown the plant, but I am here not to explain how to cope with flooding. However, I am just explain about good and correct planting.
Certainly, for farmers there is nothing satisfactory in addition to getting super and many crops. So, in the next discussion in Part2 I will discuss about to Plant Rice Seeds, Care and Fertilization.
Planting Rice Paddy Seeds
Planting work begins with the removal of seedlings in the nursery.
Planting rice seedlings after the land preparation is finishid then the seedlings ready for planted rice. The Seedlings are recommended to be planted as young as possible, usually it moved at 20 days age. Characteristics of seedlings that ready to move is at least 5-6 strands, 22-25 cm high, rootstock large and hard, free from pests and diseases so the rice growth is uniform.
Before planting on the land, the soil should be attend that soil is completely soft and clean, even water not too much.
Seed are planted by removing them from the nursery to the paddy fields. 5 to 10 stem seeds we hold into one and then pulled toward our body, keep the stem seeds do not break. After that seeds were collected in the bond and then put in a hole with some roots buried into the water.
The seed that have been revoked must be planted immediately, Good rice planting should use the pull to the right and to the left with a distance of 20 x 20 cm, this is to easy maintenance, either weeding or fertilizing and allowing each plant to receive enough sunlight and food substances evenly.
Seedlings are planted with just one seed in one planting hole, try with the upright position and if the farmer is still not used to plant one seed, the initial stage can plant 2-3 seeds in one planting hole, with enough depth planting of 2 cm, if less than 2 cm the seeds will be easy to float. The planting distance of tile model usually 20 cm x 20 cm or 25 cm x 25 cm, Legowo row planting system model has also been widely applied is legowo 2: 1 (40 x 20 x 10 cm) is the way of intermittent 2 lines and 1 bare, The distance between rows of emptied plants is called a unit.
Care of Plants
- Water Maintenance.
Care and maintenance of plants is very important in the implementation of rice cultivation, The things that are often done by farmers are the maintenance of water and water discharge on paddy fields and weeding (weed control).
Water used for irrigating rice paddy fields is water coming from the river, because the river water contains mud and dirt are very useful to increase plants fertility. Water that comes from the spring is not good for irrigating rice fields, because the water is clear, does not contain mud and dirt.
The water is fed to the paddy fields is water that comes from the secondary channels. Water is inserted into the rice field through the feed channel, by stopping the water on the secondary channel. To keep the puddles inside the paddy field remain, do not forget to make also the exhaust hole.
Entry holes and drain holes should not be made straight, It is intended that there is deposition of mud and dirt that is very useful for plant growth. If the entry and exhaust holes are made straight, then the water will continue to flow in the absence of precipitate.
Irrigating rice crops in rice fields should be considered the depth of water in accordance with the age of the plant, Water depth should be well regulated, plants 0-8 days old enough water 5 cm, while the 8-45 days old water can be added up to 10-20 cm.
- Weed control.
Weeds are herbs that live with cultivated plants and are generally very harmful to rice crops. Besides can be a host plant of several pests and causes of disease, weeds are competitors for the nutrients of water, place and sunlight. Moreover weeds have the same root system with rice so that the food elements needed by weeds and rice come from the same soil layer.
Weeding weed done 2 stages, the first stage of weeding done at age of the plant approximately 15 days and the second stage at of plant aged 30-35 days. The weeding is done by weeding the weeds and turned off with or without using the tool, usually weeding is done in conjunction with activities of stitching.
Fertilization
Fertilization is done in order to add substances and food elements needed by plants in the soil. Fertilizers used for rice plants are usually farmers use inorganic fertilizer, some other farmers also use organic fertilizer. For basic fertilizer application is usually given 7-10 days before planted, for example: green manure, manure, and compost. Number of approximately 10 tons/ha. 2. While artificial fertilizer is given after planting, example: ZA / Urea, DS / TS, and ZK.
ZA/Urea : To fertile the soil, accelerate the growth of saplings, accelerate the growth of plants, and increase the amount of grain. Where in DS / TS to accelerate the growth of plants, stimulate the growth and formation of fruit, speed up the harvest and fertilizer ZK to provide plant resistance to pests / diseases and accelerate the manufacture of starch substances.
