“Provide superior seed solutions by harnessing technology and innovation to create value for all stakeholders in a sustainable

manner”

• It is a method of seeding dry rice seeds in soil prepared in dry condition.

• Source of water is rainfall or irrigation.

Climate Smart Agriculture Technology

Transplanting

• Transplant when seedlings have 3-5 tillers, approximately 21 days. Transplant one seedling per hill, DO NOT split the seedlings.

• Before and after transplanting, spray the field with Niclosamide if necessary to control golden snail .

• Average of 2,500 liters is required to produce one kilo of “palay”

• 4 million to 15 million liters of water is used per hectare• Around 50% of water requirement is used during land

preparation• With dryseeding hybrid rice, as much as 50% of water

are conserved.



LAND PREPARATION (March to April)

Climate Smart Agriculture TechnologyBROADCAST 20 TO 25KG OF TATAG HYBRID TH82


COVER THE SEEDS WITH SOIL TO PROTECT SEEDS FROM BIRDS AND RATS


Applied with herbicide two times:1st after the first flooding

• Savings of at least 50% water consumption• Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions• Optimum use of Rainfall in irrigation• Uniform planting schedule

– Reduce pests and diseases– Easier irrigation scheduling (NIA, SWIP etc)

• Rice stubbles and weeds are turned into organic fertilizer

BENEFITS OF RICE DRYSEEDING


BENEFITS OF RICE DRYSEEDING• Rice plants are more sturdy as the roots are

undisturbed unlike in transplanted rice• Quicker and easier land preparation• Labor cost is reduced by 40%• Better yield than transplanting method• Most importantly: FARMERS will HARVEST
