Excerpt from Results of Rice Experiments at Cortena, 1923, And, Progress in Experiments in Water Grass Control at the Biggs Rice Field Station, 1922-23
The second method consists of preparing a reasonably smooth seed bed, submerging the land to a depth of four to eight inches, and then sowing the rice broadcast in the water, which is held at the depth named until the land is drained for harvest.
A third method, which 1s much less common, consists of drilling or broadcasting the rice. The land is immediately irrigated and then drained. It remains thus until the rice and water grass seedlings emerge. Then the land and the young seedlings are submerged four to eight inches, the water being held at that depth until the land is drained for harvest.
Of these three methods of irrigation, the first and second are quite effective in the control of the common water grasses. The third is less effective. The first method is used most extensively on Old rice land in California. It has been used by some growers for several years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the progress of rice experiments conducted at Cortena and the Biggs Rice Field Station during the years 1922 and 1923. The author presents the results of submergence experiments, studying the effects of varying depths and durations on water-grass control and rice yields. The book also explores different seeding practices, such as broadcasting and drilling, alongside the impact of seedbed preparation on rice growth. Additionally, the author examines the physical effects of rice cultivation on soils and the changes in bacterial flora due to continuous flooding. This book provides valuable insights into the management of rice fields, offering practical solutions to common challenges faced by rice farmers. Its comprehensive analysis of water-grass control and the effects of submergence on rice growth make it an essential resource for agriculturalists and researchers in the field.
