Seedling Management: Direct sowing is recommended 0-5 days after ploughing, with a seed rate of 1kg per mu. Seedlings should have 3-5 leaves and be treated with pesticides and fertilizers
Density: A reasonable planting density is required with 10,000 - 13,000 seedlings per mu for direct sowing, or 30,000 - 50,000 seedlings per mu for transplanting.
Fertilization: Fertilization should focus on providing adequate basic fertilizer, early fertilizer, and stalk fertilizer, using special fertilizer for rice and additional fertilization at the seedling and flowering stages.
Water Management: Water management requires maintaining a shallow water level during seedling emergence, then intermittent drying to encourage root growth.
