The beginning of a green dream—rice seedbed.

The first and most important step in rice cultivation is the seedbed. The picture shows rows of green seedlings, which are forming the foundation of the future rice field. The seedbed is basically a small piece of land where rice seeds are sown and seedlings are made. Later, those seedlings are planted in the main land. Taking care of the seedbed is very important to get healthy and strong seedlings.

For a good seedbed, the land needs to be leveled and mudded. This helps the seeds germinate easily and strengthens the roots of the seedlings. The young green seedlings seen in the picture prove that the land has received enough water and sunshine. The leaves of the seedlings remain green and fresh in the sun, which is a sign of healthy growth. Before sowing the seeds, it is necessary to select good quality seeds and treat them if necessary, so that diseases and pests are reduced.

It is very important to keep the seedbed clean of weeds. Weeds take up the food and space of the seedlings. There must also be a system of regular watering and excess water drainage. A farmer's hard work, patience and experience are clearly reflected in the seedbed. These tiny seedlings will one day be filled with golden rice ears. Therefore, it can be said that the rice seedbed is the first green scratch of the farmer's dream.
