Irrigated rice should be transplanted. Transplanting ensures a vigorous initial plant growth. In the wet season, 15 to 25 day-old seedlings should be transplanted between mid- January and mid-February and 20 to 30days–old seedlings between mid-July and mid-August in the dry season. Transplant 3 to 4 seedlings per station at 23cm x 15cm spacing
