Sowing of direct paddy has drowned 2 farmers,paddy has to be replanted in half of the land.
Due to non-availability of labor this time the farmers of Punjab had sown paddy directly through DSR (Direct Seating of Rice) technique around a month ago but the technique has not worked properly and become unsuccessful.Now they have to plow and planted the paddy field again.
Harcharan Singh Sama and Joginder Singh Sama, farmers of Nurpur Sethan village, said that they had sown about 100 acres of paddy directly but the paddy did not germinate fully and the plants did not fully penetrate the land. Due to its scarcity, paddy has to be re-sown by plowing.
There have also been complaints from various quarters that rats are eating the paddy seeds, forcing farmers to replant the sparsely growing paddy.
