Rice is typically grown in bunded fields that are continuously flooded up to 7−10 days before harvest. Continuous flooding helps ensure sufficient water and control weeds. However, When rice fields experience heavy rainfall, freshly seeded fields tend to have poor distribution, germination, and emergence. This has not been the case for Mbeke Traders Limited has well guided its farmers in Eastern Uganda to perform surface seeding and ensure good field drainage soon after planting. By look of things, our rice farmers will be very happy at the time of harvest
