Key Points and Cultivation Methods of Soilless Rice Cultivation Explained

First prepare some floating boxes, then put in the mixed and stirred rice-specific fertilizer soil, spread it flat at a thickness of 6-8 cm or 5-7 cm as the substrate for fixing and nourishing the rice. Place the floating boxes with the soil onto non-flowing or slow-flowing water surfaces such as lakes, reservoirs and ponds, and let the water surface submerge the soil in the floating boxes. After the soil in the floating boxes is soaked through by the water, simply transplant the grown rice seedlings into the soil in the floating boxes.

Detailed explanation of soilless rice cultivation techniques:

1. Make the floating bed

The floating bed must stay soaked in water all the time, so the choice of floating bed material is very strict: it must not cause pollution and must also be durable. The EVA masterbatch has passed EU testing, reaches food-grade standard, and is very environmentally friendly.

2. Spread the cultivation substrate

Water-grown rice has a well-developed and vigorous root system, and this is thanks to the cultivation substrate. Water-grown rice grower Tong Jun named his homemade cultivation substrate——indigenous microbial fertilizer. It is formed by fermenting biochar, microbial strains and some farm waste together.

The indigenous microorganisms in the fertilizer play an important role, producing specific fertilizer effects that can increase rice yield and improve rice quality. The microbial strains in the microbial fertilizer are taken from the local primitive forest, turning waste into treasure!

3. Harvesting

Wherever it floats, the harvesting boat goes there to harvest.

The above is the relevant introduction to soilless rice cultivation techniques, and I hope it is helpful to everyone.
