How To Plant Rice

The quality of the seed and the option

the seeds of selectionSeed is a product of life that should be grown, harvested, and processed correctly in order to realize the potential results of rice varieties. Good quality seed can increase yields by up to 5-20%. Use a good seed leads to lower the high level of seeding, crop planting, reduced the emergence of more uniform crop stand, early plant growth and stronger. Strong growth in the early stages reduces the problem of grass and plant increase resistance to insect pests and diseases. All of these factors contribute to a higher yield and more productive rice fields.

Good seed is purely (from a variety of options), full and uniform in size, worth (more than 80% pengecambahan with the spirit of the good seed), and seeds of weeds, disease free seed, insect pathogen, or other problems.

Select the descendants of various suitable rice to suit that environment will grow inand brilliantly selected seeds from a variety of the highest quality possible is an important first step in the production of rice.

Land preparation

Before the rice can be grown, the soil must be in the best physical condition for the growth of plants and the ground surface is level. Land preparation involving the ploughing and harrowing for 'til ' or dug-up, mix and the level of the ground.

Tillage enables the seeds to planted at a depth of, and also helped with weed control. Farmers can get to ground itself using hoes and other tools or they can be assisted by draft animals, such as Buffalo, or tractors and other machines.

Furthermore, the ground was leveled to reduce the amount of water wasted by rainwater too deep pockets or exposed soil. Leveling the ground effectively allows seedlings to become established more easily, reducing the amount of effort required to manage the plant, and improve the quality of grain and results.

Establishment of plant

planting

Two main practices establishment of rice plant that planting and direct seeding.

Planting technique of the most popular establishments in all of Asia. Pre-germinated seeds transferred from seedbed to wet areas. It requires less seed and is an effective method to control weeds, but needs the labor. Seedlings may be transplanted by machine or hand.

Direct seeding involves Broadcasting seeds dry or pre-germinated seeds and seedlings by hand or by machine plant them. In the rice paddies rainwater and marine ecosystems, seeds dry manually broadcast to the ground and then put either by plowing or by horrible while the ground is still dry. In the area of irrigation, seed usually germinates pre-season before broadcasting.

Water use and management

Cultivated rice are very sensitive to lack of water. To ensure enough water for padi farmers, mostly aiming to maintain the condition of flooding in their field. This is especially true for rice fields. Good water management in rice focuses on the practices that conserve water while ensuring enough water for the plant.

In the environment of rice field rainwater when the optimal amount of water are not likely available for rice production, a suite of options available to help farmers cope with different degrees and forms of water scarcity. This includes sound land preparation and planting activities pre-followed by techniques such as soil saturated culture, alternate wetting and drying, raised beds, Mulching and use of aerobic rice can overcome the condition.

Nutrient management

nutrition-managementAt each stage of the growth of the rice plant have nutritional needs. This makes the management of the critical aspects of a nutrient of rice farming.

The unique nature of the flooding of the land make the rice differs from other plants. Due to the prolonged floods in the rice paddies, farmers were able to conserve soil organic matter and also receive a free input of nitrogen from biological sources, which means they need little or no fertilizer nitrogen to maintain yields. However, farmers can adapt to the conditions of their nutrient management field to improve results.

Plant Health

Rice plant has a range of ' enemy ' in the field. These include mice, insects, viruses, diseases, and weeds. Farmers manage weeds through water management and soil preparation, hand weeding, and in some cases herbcide application. Understanding the interactions between pests, natural enemies, host plants, other organisms, and the environment allows the farmer to determine what if any pest management may need.

Avoid conditions that allow pests to adapt and thrive in a particular ecosystem that helps to identify the weak link in the life cycle of pests and therefore what factors that can be manipulated to manage it.

Planting Potatoes

HOW POTATO PLANTS

Plant seed potatoes (whole pieces of potatoes or small potatoes, with at least 2 eyes per piece) 0-2 weeks after the last frozen spring.
If you cut pieces of potatoes for planting, do 1-2 days ahead of time. This will give them a chance to form a protective coating, both for moisture retention and resistance to rotation.
You may start planting early, as soon as the soil can be worked on, but be aware that some plants will be destroyed by frost.
Spread and mix in rotten fertilizer or organic compost at the bottom of the trench before planting.
The one-legged plant seed tank is separated in a 4-inch deep trench, the side of the eye is facing upward.
Practice annual harvest rotation.

CARE
HOW TO GROW DARK

Potatoes grow well, the soil is dry and friable.
Potatoes require consistent moisture, so water is regular when the bulbs begin to form.
Determination must be done before the potato plant blooms, when the plant is about 6 inches. Hoe the dirt around the plant base to cover the roots as well as to support the plant. Bury them on loose soil. The idea is to keep the potatoes in order not to burn sun, in which case they become green and will taste bitter.
You need to collect potatoes every few weeks to protect your crops.

PESTS / DISEASES

Aphids
Fleas Lice
Hoppers leaves
Start / End Danger
Potato Potato: Most likely caused by soil with high pH. Remember: Potatoes are like acid soils (do not be grown on soil with a pH higher than 5.2). Seed potato potatoes with sulfur before planting.

HARVEST / STORAGE
HOW TO HARVEST POTATOES

Dig the potatoes on a dry day. Dig gently, be careful not to stab the tuber. The soil should not be compact, so excavation should be easy.
New potatoes will be ready for harvest after 10 weeks, usually in early July.
You should harvest all your potatoes after the vines are dead (usually at the end of August), or the potatoes can rot.

Make sure you brush the soil attached to the potato, then store it in a cool, dry and dark place. The ideal temperature for storage is 35 to 40 ° F.
Do not store potatoes with apples; Their ethylene gas will cause the potato to break down.
Whether you are digging your own potatoes or buying them in a store, do not wash them until they are right before you use them. Washing potatoes shortens their storage.

How to Plant Cherry

if you are a lover of cherry, you might have been spitting cherry pits share, or maybe it's just me. At any rate, do you ever wonder, "can you grow cherry trees holes?" If so, how do you grow cherry trees from pits? Let us find out.

Can you develop a hole cherry trees?

Yes indeed. Cherry trees from a seed that grows not only cheap way to grow cherry trees, but also a lot of fun and delicious!

First, can you grow cherry trees in your area? Cherry varieties are hardy through USDA plant hardiness zones 5-9, depending on the type.

Now comes the hard part. Eat some cherries. It is one of the tough, huh? Use the cherries from both trees grow in the area or bought from the farmers market. Cherriesfrom the Wholesaler is stored in such a way, chilled, which makes the early seeds of them unreliable.

Save the pits from the cherries you just pigging out and put them in a bowl of warm water. Allow the Pit to soak for five minutes or so and then lightly rub them free from any fruit stick. Spread the pits clean paper towel in a warm area and allow them to dry for three to five days, then, transferring dry holes for plastic containers, label and comes with a tight lid. Keep the holes in the refrigerator for 10 weeks.

Why are you doing this? Cherries need to go through periods of cold or stratification which usually occurs naturally during the winter, before it germinates in the spring. Coolant holes artificially mimic this process. Okay, seed planting cherry trees are now ready to start.

How to grow cherry trees from pits

After ten weeks have passed, remove the pits and allow them to come to room temperature. Now you are ready to plant cherry. Put two or three holes in a small container filled with a planting medium and seeds in the water. Keep the soil moist.

When the seeds of cherries 2 inches tall, thin them, remove the weakest plants, leaving the sturdiest seedling in a pot. Keep the seeds in an area that is bright in the room until all danger of frost has passed for your region, and then transplant outside. Some trees should be planted at least 20 feet apart.

Seed planting cherry trees

Growing cherry trees from a seed can also try directly in the garden. In this method, you are skipping the cooling and let the seeds go through a natural process of stratification through the winter.

Last fall, gathering holes dried cherries and plant them outside. Plant a few because some cannot germinate. Seed set of 2 inches and a foot apart. Mark the site for planting.

In spring, the holes will grow. Wait until the seeds are 8-12 inches high and then transplant them to keep them in the garden. Mulch well around the seedling transplanted to retard weed and help with water retention.

And, there you have it! Planting the seed of a cherry-simple as that! The hard part is waiting for those delicious cherries.
