Thank alot @slysim. your input is valued. I am currently noticing some yellowing of the leaves in my nursery. the nursery is almost 21days old ready for transplanting in a few days. I havent added any fertilizer to it yet. Any idea what i can do to arrest this yellowing?its not a significant portion but some tiny patches. |

1hecter is not small. Thats not starting small. 1 hectare = 2 and half Acre . There are 8 100by50 plots of land in 1 Acre. So basicly 21 plots of land each measuring 100 by 50 =1hecter. How would a beginer manage this size it? For me, starting small would be planting on a 400by 400 piece of farm land and see as you do and preparing heavy for your next sowing.I digress, that i have choosen to go with nursery is to improve yield because i have seen that some farmers still practise direct seeding instead of nursery and transplanting even though there have been several evidence that have shown that transplanting actually imporves yield.i.e it is difficult to control weed with direct seeding.Poor weed controll=serious yield loss and also rice populace is guaranteed with firm root instead of being too packed in the direct seeding method. Any way, i was speaking to someone today and he says i should watchout for grasscutters? That, it is a pest to rice. Has anyone experienced it? an how was this controlled? SLYSIM: |

I just recently started rice farming. Irrigation rice farming since we are in dry season. Looking at this thread,i cant help but laugh. Most of the things i read here is far from the truth especially concerning capital needed to start. I am at the nursey stage of rice farming waiting to transplant. My oldest nursery is about 10days old. Anyway, if considering rice farming, unless you have alot of money; go manual rather than mechanical. And be involved in ALL the process. From clearing the farm land to planting and fertilizers. Why i say some of the information isnt correct is that, when you are doing irrigation farming expect to spend more money than someone who would depend on rain water but the benefit is that you get to plant year round. In my case i dug a bore hole and installed irrigation channels. RIce farming is labour intensive. I am starting small as an experiment on about 5-6 plots of land excluding nursery. Would keep you guys updated as i go on. i actually came here looking for the best techniques of bird repellant. i might go for a combination method. 1 Like |
