Practice Name:

Better Germination of Paddy

Details

Category	Crop Production
Crop	Paddy
Crop Family	Poaceae
Scientific Name	(Oryza sativa)
Vernacular Name	Rice
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	Neem leaves and small wheat straw
Details Of Innovation	To encourage germination of paddy seeds, farmers immerse the paddy seeds in hot water for a day. Soaked seeds are heaped on the ground. Neem leaves and small wheat straw then cover the entire heap for four days. Water is sprinkled frequently over the entire heap during this time. After four days, the seeds begin to germinate and are sown in the nursery.
