It is a new variety that has excellent seedling establishment in low temperatures and disease resistance, and is expected to become more widely used in direct seeding cultivation.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hokkaido-kome.gr.jp\/variety\/emimaru\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reference: Hokkaido rice LOVE<\/a>\uff09\u3002<\/p>\n<h2>Dry field direct seeding cultivation<\/h2>\n<p>Dry-field direct cultivation does not require plowing, and is a technique that saves labor and reduces costs compared to paddy rice cultivation.<\/p>\n<p>The field is leveled using a laser leveler, and then sowing, tamping, and covering the seeds with soil are carried out. After that, watering is carried out, herbicide is sprayed, and seedlings are grown.<\/p>\n<h3>Plowing and field leveling<\/h3>\n<p>Leveling the field is considered important for seedling establishment, water management, and weed control.<\/p>\n<h4>Laser Leveler<\/h4>\n<p>The laser emitted from the laser emitter is used as the reference height by the receiver attached to the blade, which detects the height and controls the blade height to a constant level via a hydraulic controller.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of this work, the difference in elevation of the field is said to be less than 3 cm.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.google.com\/share\/AF1QipMl76hq8q2GlhuSPSfpBgws1gP-B-bw-mjnyvSYvdZXsq2iJX2IZKmXQ3ZEc-Trnw\/photo\/AF1QipOuCKO7r7PqTcdohaDVee8r-O7wm5tIGUmuWz8?key=bjhCdUNpSnJ0QUZlbDktTWp3Ql83OXczcDhhXzVR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/pw\/AM-JKLUXwD5vzKyjwDvAfyv8bufZuVPP7C16GAyrbPtLirINpR-6FBYYJkjSki4zWH31_vXxNDKUKIxo6wQmWAEfi7EGbuvVL4SnQdebWEXH19zVVETnU5BFFr7qvh_dPTHgLOYMXaT5ap-XeOFERUWsluZa=w2000-h1333-no?authuser=1\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" alt=\"Dry-seeded rice cultivation &quot;Emimaru&quot;
