Rice seed planting

1. When rice seeds are sown in the soil, radicles will soon grow and seedlings will emerge. After the seedlings have grown for a period of time, they can be transplanted in time. They will then joint out. In about 30 days, young ears will grow out, the stems will grow taller, and then they will bloom and fill the grains.

As long as the sowing is done evenly, the germination rate will be high and the growth will be good.
