How to cultivate rice in land reclamation

1. Soil preparation: Before planting rice, the paddy soil must be ploughed to make it soft. This process is divided into three stages: rough tillage, fine tillage and leveling. In the past, animals and plows were used, mainly buffaloes, but machines were used to prepare soil. 2. Transplanting: Carefully insert the seedlings into the rice fields at regular intervals. The traditional transplanting method will mark the rice field with seedling rope, seedling label or transplanting wheel. When transplanting rice by hand, the thumb of the left hand will wear a seedling separator to help farmers divide the seedlings and insert the soil. The climate of transplanting rice seedlings is very important, such as heavy rain will damage the seedlings. There are many modern rice transplanters that can transplant rice seedlings, but in the undulating and non-square rice fields, manual rice transplanting is still needed. Generally, seedlings are north-south oriented. It is also more convenient to throw seedlings. 3. Fertilization: The tillering stage is called when the seedlings are raised and the first rice stalk grows. Fertilization is often needed in this period to make rice seedlings grow healthily and promote the fullness and quantity of rice quality in the future. 4. Irrigation and drainage: Rice is more dependent on this procedure. Take upland rice as an example, it is upland field, and the process of irrigation and drainage is different. However, it is generally necessary to strengthen irrigation after transplanting, when young panicles are formed, and at the heading and flowering stage. 5. Harvest: When the ears of rice droop and are golden and full, you can start harvesting. In the past, farmers cut them one by one with sickles, then tied them up and separated them with threshers. In modern times, there were harvesters, which directly separated the rice ears from the stems after they were involved, and the rice ears became rice one by one. 6. Drying and finishing: The harvested rice needs to be dried and turned over from time to time. Screening is to remove impurities such as shriveled grains, separate the grains by electric thresher, windmill or manual shaking, and automatically screen out full and thick rice by wind power.
