"SEC | S20W2: How to cultivate a paddy"|| club5050||22-09-2024

Hi steemains how are you once I am back hope so you will be fine and spending healthy life with your loved once and I am also fine and spending a healthy life with my children

Today I want to participate in this season 20 and week 2 of engagement challenge which is related about to the agriculture and specially related to the peddy and when I saw this challenge then I thought that I definitely participate in this engagement challenge

So let start our activity without any delay and told about my opinion about this topic

What is the method of rice seedbed preparation and what steps are taken in preparing the soil for rice cultivation

|Rice seed bed preparation contaims lot of steps which ensure their germination growth and devolpment
Here I am elaborate the some step of our knowledge and their preparation of soil for rice cultivation

Seed bed preparation

land preparation

Clear all the area for debris stubble and for weeds plowing the field and depth is 8-10 inches
And observe all the area to loosen and aerate it completely

leveling

level all the area for the plowing after the water distribution

Harrowing

Mix the soil to break up the cover and create a smooth surface.

soil smoothing

Mix the soil with board or rack and made an even surface

preparation soil for the rice cultivation

water management

Water levels were controlled in three samples. Which control to the optimal condition of moisturing

source

weed control

Control the weed to the prevention of nutrition

pest and disease

Control the area from pest and disease to preserve the needed area

source

By using these following stepsyou must be create a ideal seed bed and soil for rice cultivation and must watch to the growth of crops and yields

What is the importance of planting rice seeds at the right time?

Planting rice seeds play a crucial role for the crops and growth of right time I tell you about the importance of rice cultivation

Importance

Optimal growth
Planting at the right time is the main thing for the cultivation must check about the germination growth and reducing and wastage of seeds

about the weather

we must planting in accurate season and check all the favourable condition of weather like temperature moisture

pest and other disease

Must inform about the pest and disease we must planting at the right time to help about the pest and disease

water availability

During the time of planting the time period must ensure the yields surface and proper irrigation

How is regular irrigation and fertilizer applied after sowing rice seeds?

Regular irrigation and fertilizer play a very important role in the sowing seeds of rice here is a step by step some points in front of you

initially watering

After 7 days 3 inches watering in the sowing seeds for the germination of growth of rice field

continues watering

After 14 days must be focus on the water deth of 3 inches to the water resources and water depth

alternate between drying and watering

After 28 days alternative between 28 days must focus on drying to promote on the growth

controlled irrigation

Must focus of 28 days after sowing seeds adjust water level for the growth germination soil surface and weather situation

fertilizer application*

Basic fertilizer

Apply different kind of euorea fertilizer like phosphorus potassium and nitrogen and other necessary euorea

Top dressing

After 21 days must include the useful fertilizer like nitrogen fertilizer for the growth of rice crops

penicle formation

After 35 days must add and apply the phosphorus and potassium fertilizer for the growth of germination

by following these,steps farmers can be identified these steps as soon as possible if farmer can focus on these points they incresedare tge growth and germination by the more research of these information they can increase the irrigation and fertilizer and can optimise the growth of rice crops and cultivation and improve the quality of crops

What are the major pests and diseases of rice crops, and how can they be controlled?

Major pest

White hooper bug
Leaf folder
Stem borer
Rice gal midge
Whitepacked plant hooper
rice ear head bug

Major disease

Blast
Bacterial blight
Sheath blight
Fungle disease
Rice virus
Panicle bright
Rice tungro

control measures

Crop rotation
Sanitation
Resistance varities
Proper water management
Planting weather

through chemical control

Through fungicide
Herbicide
Insecticide

specific control measures

Resistance varities through biological ways to control
Fungicide resistances varities
Culture control varieties
Resistance varieties vector managment

What are the next steps after harvesting the paddy and what are the steps to be taken to preserve the paddy?

Must be carefull after harvesting the major steps of harvesting thrashing cleaning and storage for the ling time use

post harvest operation

• drying

Must reduce the moisture content to prevent from the bacterial and fungal growth

Sun drying resources
Mechanical drying
Combination of diffrent resources

thrashing

Separate grains from straws and crops

Manual thrashing
Throw thrashers

cleaning

Remove impurities from the straws and crops
Air jets
Winnowing
Vibrating sieves

• Grading

Separate from different categories

peddy storage

Storage facilities

Use clean dry well maintained from the crops and preserve from storage structure

pest control

Preserve from the pest and disease pressure and monitor from all the condition

from moisture control

Keep the moisture free environment and must monitor moisture absorbing material

pest control

Protect from bacteria fungicide and from the pesticides

regular monitoring

Check temperature on daily basis moisture and humidity and mold growth pest infection
