What key points should be noted for late-planted rice when transplanting into fields prepared with stored water?
The general requirement for transplanting late-planted rice into fields prepared with stored water is to seize the water, prepare the field, and transplant the seedlings, increasing the number of hills, seedlings, and panicles. For rice fields transplanted with stored water, as soon as rainfall occurs or another water source becomes available, measures such as blocking, diverting, and pumping water should be taken immediately to seize the water, prepare the field, and transplant the seedlings. For late-planted fields, planting density should be increased. For seedlings aged 60-70 days, transplant more than 13,000 hills per mu (8 x 6 cun), with two seedlings per hill (2 grains of rice); for seedlings aged over 70 days, transplant more than 15,000 hills per mu (8 x 5 cun), with about 10 seedlings per hill, so that the number of seedlings planted per mu reaches about 150,000, basically planting enough for the effective panicle number, relying on transplanting rather than tillering.
