- Choose Quality Rice Seeds
Quality rice seeds are important if we want to increase rice cultivation results properly. Currently on the market there are many rice seeds that you can match with land conditions and market demand, both 3-month and 4-month seeds. Some characteristics of superior rice varieties

- Rice Seed Sowing Process
The rice seeds that are ready can be sown immediately, the steps are as follows:
Make a bed with a width of 2 - 4m. The nursery area for 1 hectare of land is around 400 m or 3% of the land area.
Add 2 kg of organic materials such as urea, phoska fertilizer. If you are interested in processing compost from agricultural waste, please learn how to make traditional fertilizer from rice straw. The seeds to be sown must be soaked for about 2 x 24 hours
Sowing is done for 17 or 21 days before planting, try to make the place to sow the rice seeds close to the planting location so that the transfer of the seeds is done quickly and the seeds remain fresh.
The sown seeds do not have to be completely submerged, because it will cause the sprouts to be infected with pathogens and eventually rot.
After 21 days, then you plant them in loose soil, don't forget before planting, you must first eradicate pests by using debestan poison to eradicate snails that eat young rice seedlings
The next step so that before the rice grows, you make sure there is a little water on the surface, don't let it get submerged.
Then you wait until it is 5 days old, then you fertilize it according to the area of rice you planted. Then fertilize again after 2 months
