If the wheat crop preceding rice is seeded timely with sufficient soil moisture, there is no need to change the irrigation schedule 21 days after seeding. Irrigation water reduces resistance of soil to penetration of plant roots in no- till plot. Therefore, it is better to advance the first irrigation by 4-7 days (two weeks after sowing of wheat) .
