Rice planting process

Soak the seeds before planting rice. Soak the seeds in water for 2-3 days and then take them out. The soaking time is determined by the temperature. Soaking time is short at high temperature and long at low temperature. Scatter the seeds with white buds in the bamboo basket, and then cover them tightly with plastic film. When they grow longer white buds, they can be raised in rice fields.

Before raising seedlings, rice fields should be plowed and raked. There must be a lot of water in the rice field. Who hasn't seen seeds? Without water, there would be no rice. After about half a month, when the seedlings grow to about 10 cm, they can be transplanted. Before transplanting, water storage, ploughing, harrowing and other related work should be carried out in the paddy field. After the field work is completed, the seedlings can be pulled out and planted.
