Water chestnut is an annual herbaceous aquatic plant, also known as "peanuts in water". The fruit "water chestnut" is a nut, which hangs in the water under the dense leaves and must be picked up and turned upside down to see it. After ripening, the fruit becomes hard. If the wild water chestnut is not picked, it will gradually fall off the stem, sink to the bottom and germinate in the next year.

After entering the spring in February, it is necessary to set up nursery grounds and intensively cultivate seedlings. After the first rice harvest from the end of May to the beginning of June in early summer, the paddy field was prepared and ridged, water was diverted into the field, and water chestnut seedlings were transplanted.
