Wet System of Cultivation

• Situation - Low land / flooded / submerged
• Ploughing - 3 to 4 times with an interval of about four days (country plough or mould board plough or by tiller/tractors) with 5-7 cm of standing water.
• Fertilizers - inorganic and organic.

Advantages over dry cultivation

• The puddling operation buries all weeds
• multiple cropping is possible
• more assured plant population
• Increased availability of iron and phosphorus and nitrogen is conserved,
• Scope for extended root system
• Reduced infiltration rate and thus  increases the water retaining capacity of soil
• Easy transplanting.
