Is it possible to transplant/direct seed the rice on permanent raised bed system?
There is no difficulty in transplanting direct seeding rice on permanent raised beds. Direct seeding of rice can be done with the help of bed planter fitted with zero tillage tines. For transplanting, when we apply the water in dry soil, the soil become soft and transplanting can be done easily. However to avoid problem due to standing stubbles, transplant seedlings in slits opened with by tines of ZT seed drill.
