2. Land Preparation
Prepare the land two to three weeks before transplanting to ensure the fast and ideal growth of
the Pioneer Hybrid Rice to be planted. This will hinder the early growth of weeds and help in
proper management of fertilizer and farm irrigation.
PLOWING. Plow the land once with a medium depth, preferably 10-15 centimeters.
HARROWING. Harrow the land a week after plowing it and repeat this process after a week has
passed.
LEVELING. Level the land with the use of a plowshare or a hand tractor.
ARRANGING THE EMBANKMENTS. Clean and fix the embankments to close up any holes that
may serve as rats' nest or waterway that will lead to water spillage.
