Seedling treatment :
3. Seedling root dipping in chloropyriphos before planting for controlling rice whorl maggot, stem borer etc. (in case of transplanted crop)

Stand establishment:
4. In case of direct seeding sowing must be completed before rajo(1st fortnight of june)
5. Planting in july, 20x15 cm spacing (in case of transplanted rice)

1. Lower seedling density in nursery using only 40 gm seed/m2 to produce thick, healthy seedlings(40 to 50 kg /ha).
2. Correcting zinc deficiency and adding 50% more p and k in the nursery then recommended.
