Paddy planting



We have this paddy test plot at Tanjung Karang, Kuala Selangor  :

a)4 July 2012, 60kg Lile inoculants for 1 plot (3 acre) paddy testing, usual practice is after land preparation (plough 2-3 times) , organic fertilizer(100kg)  to be added followed by pesticides.
At this stage En Azali/ farmer blended  60kg Lile inoculants with the organic fertilizer.

b) Aug2012, Paddy seedling transferred to plot and  water level increased. Urea is added to improve leaves nutrition (for this plot he is reducing usage  from 120 to 80kg, to see any differences)

c) 6 Sep 2012, the paddy already 1 month old

For the coming month  chemical fertilizer (for better yield) and insecticides to be added stage by stage. It took about 110-150 days to harvest the paddy.

En Azali has charted a development scale:
a)       Organic and chemical fertilizer usage
b)       insecticides and pesticides usage
c)         Yield
