I. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT PERIOD OF RICE PLANTS

II. RICE PLANTING AND CARE DURING THE SEEDLING STAGE

1. Sowing seeds and first fertilization

• Soak and incubate seeds for 24–36 hours (depending on the rice variety).

• Use Rice holder 0.0075SL (15ml packet/tank with 15 liters of water), spray evenly over the seeds, then mix again and incubate overnight before sowing (this helps break seed dormancy and stimulates germination).

• When spraying for pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control, farmers can combine with BM Root Stimulator (50 ml/25-liter sprayer/1000 m²) to stimulate root establishment and promote early tillering.

First fertilization: Apply 50kg Urea + 50kg DAP + 40kg KCL + 5kg Humic granules (or Root tablets) per hectare. → Humic helps stimulate root hair development, promote tillering, reduce soil acidity, and increase NPK uptake.

• In fields with acidic surface layers, apply 1–2kg/1000 m² of Haifa Cal Agri (Calcium Nitrate) to neutralize soil acidity, prevent root suffocation, and promote strong early root development.

2. Second fertilization
Apply 50kg Urea + 50kg DAP + 40kg KCL + 5kg Humic granules (or Root tablets) per hectare (same as the first application, adjusted depending on leaf color).

• To enhance tiller numbers, apply foliar spray of Baominh-P61 (50g) + BM Root (500ml) per 25 liters of water → stimulates root growth during the seedling stage, promotes strong tillering, green leaves, and robust plant growth.

• Stage 30–37 days: Drain water mid-season to encourage deeper rooting, strengthen plants, and reduce lodging later. Apply Siêu Lùn Cây (50ml/25 liters/1000m²) to limit plant height, strengthen leaves, prevent lodging, and promote stronger panicles.

• Stage 38–45 days: Depending on the growth duration of the rice variety, adjust fertilization timing for panicle initiation or panicle development accordingly.

• 

  • First: Observe the “waist tightening” near the tip of the rice leaf.
  • Second: Split open the leaf sheath to check the growing point (the young tissue “bud”) which should be about 1–2mm.
  • Third: Identify based on the rice plant’s growth duration
  (total growth duration – 50 days = timing for fertilization).

III. RICE CARE DURING THE PANICLE INITIATION AND HEADING STAGE

1. Care and third fertilization:

• In case rice leaves turn pale yellow: Apply 50kg Urea + 50kg KCL.

• In case rice leaves turn straw-yellow: Apply 40kg Urea + 50kg KCL.

• In case rice leaves remain dark green: Apply 50–70kg KCL.

• At this stage, it is essential to maintain water in the field, because the crop is shifting from the vegetative to the reproductive stage, requiring water for nutrient translocation to support panicle development and overall plant vigor.

2. Additional foliar nutrition support:

• Spray 50ml Seaweedcabo + 1 pack BM Chelated Micronutrients → Use for a 25-liter sprayer per 1000m², spraying evenly on foliage before and after full heading.

• This helps enhance pollen vitality, reduce empty grains, and maximize yield.
