After having sowed our 1st stage surface, we are about the restart sowing of stage 2 (430 ha of paddy rice). Land has been prepared and will be sowed during the 1st week-end of October. Our strategy is to sow in stages to reduce our operating risks (weather issues and irrigation restrictions) while we will have a better control of the plots as they are not going to be all in the same stage at the same moment.
The 1st stage sowing is developing well as you can see (herbicides and nitrogen have been applied) and we are going to start to irrigate those plots in about 7 days.
For now, the river is at a low level and does not permit to pump water. Rains are forecasted and we have also water stored in our reservoir to start irrigation process.
