Optimizing seedling age boosts rice yield in Fogera plain farming.
The researchers studied how the age of rice seedlings at transplanting affects the yield of lowland rice in Fogera plain. They tested different ages of seedlings from 0 to 35 days old and found that 21-day-old seedlings gave the highest grain and straw yield. This age also resulted in the most profitable outcome. Therefore, using 21-day-old seedlings for transplanting rice in Fogera plain is recommended for better crop yield and economic benefit.
