Application of Oganic Manures

• Apply FYM 12.5 t/ha or compost or green leaf manure @ 6.25 t/ha.
• If green manure is raised @ 50 kg seeds/ha in situ, incorporate it to a depth of 15 cm using a green manure trampler or tractor.
• In the place of green manure, press mud / composted coir pith can also be used.

Green Manure Incorporation

Stubble Incorporation:

• Apply 22 kg urea / ha at the time of first puddling while incorporating the stubbles of previous crop to compensate immobilization of N by the stubbles.
• This may be done at least 10 days prior to planting of subsequent crop.
• This recommendation is more suitable for double crop wetlands, wherein, the second crop is transplanted in succession with short turn around period.
