	Use tadpole shrimps to control weeds
		A study in 1976 revealed that weed control in 1 hectare of paddy field required about 500 man-hours of work in the traditional way, about 90 hours if herbicides were used, and only 20 hours to hand pull remaining weeds after the action of the shrimps.
		In Japan and elsewhere, the tadpole shrimps occur naturally in newly flooded paddy fields and are referred to as "weed picking bugs in rice fields".
		However, in transplanted paddy fields, scientists have found that from 25 — 80 shrimps/square meter are able to effectively control annual weeds such as barnyard grass.

	agriculture
		Paddy seeds are sowed in a small plot and within 21 days the seeds sprout into saplings, ready for transplantation.
		The paddy field is prepared by trapping water and tilling.
		The rice soil is specially tilled after plowing in order to create a better seedbed under the water, using tractors or ox driven plow operating in water four to six inches (10 to 15 centimetres) deep.

	WWW Virtual Library: Working in the paddy field
		Although paddy is generally known as the lazy man's crop because once sown, he doesn't have to worry much, in actual fact, there is a routine to follow.
		The other is to sow a portion of the field in a thick layer of plants and to remove them and plant in the entire field when they are a little big.
		The fields have to be protected by pests and although pesticides are used today, the traditional farmer would prefer to follow native practices used over the ages to protect the fields.

	A Review of Rice-Fish Culture in China
		Paddy fields are also used for breeding of fish and raising of fry and fingerlings.
		In Sichuan paddy fields with higher bunds and with adequate water are selected to rear fry to fingerlings.
		Paddy dug out during the construction of fish trenches are replanted at the inner wall of the bund, and the production of rice per unit area is thus unaffected.

	The Hindu : Kerala / Kollam News : Bid to revive paddy farming at Maranad
		KOLLAM: At a time when traditional paddy fields are being wantonly reclaimed for real estate development and plantation crop farming, an attempt is being made in Pavithreswaram grama panchayat in the district to revive paddy cultivation in the Maranad paddy field which had been lying idle for the last several years.
		In the past this 100-acre paddy field used to be richly cultivated since it had a permanent natural source of irrigation.
		GEWS chairman Kollam Panikkar and Pushpakumar, general convener of the paddy field revival programme, said that to begin with, 50 acres of the field would be revived.

	The Gamarala and the Jumbo
		The poor Gamarala was at least lucky to have his own rice field (paddy field).
		The white elephant made a perfect four-point landing, reversed thrust and taxied to the paddy field and set to work on the rice.
		The landing was rather uneventful except that the Gamarala who was rather big landed awkwardly in the muddy paddy field and ended up waist deep in mud.

	How a paddy-field works
		After harvest, the fields are ploughed or sometimes left as stubble for the entire winter.
		I suppose this is too far north to grow more than one rice crop in a season, but there is some double-cropping, using the same land first for spring-grown barley, then for rice in the summer.
		Of course there is a common usage of "paddy" to mean the field, but cowardice compelled me to go through and change every occurrence to "paddy-field".

	Integrated Carp Farming in Asian Country (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Those breeding in paddy fields have adhesive eggs and are normally laid on green plants to facilitate more oxygen for developing embryo whereas shallow water spawners and the nest builders get favourable conditions of breeding in paddy fields.
		Generally, fish culture in paddy fields is undertaken as second crop after the single annual crop of paddy or as an intermediate crop between the paddy harvest and the next transplantation or as concurrent crop with paddy.
		In paddy fields which are used simulteneously for both rice and fish cultivation, or fish as the second crop, the income from fish is much higher than rice obviously because the price of fish is at least ten times more than rice.

Seedlings (rice sprouts) are transplanted in the same field or a different one, a process called 'Natti' in the local language.
		After the drained field is completely dry and the plants turn hay-color, paddy harvesting is done by females, usually in October and November.

	Vanishing Paddy Fields by Khalid Khan
		And what is startling about these paddy fields is that it is situated in the suburbs of Shillong City itself and yet maintained it's distinct rural touch.
		These rivers have a history of not only shielding the paddy fields from relentless human incursions but an equally terrifying history of ripping the breast of the paddy fields, by habitual erosion during the monsoon.
		The paddy fields instead of soothing and reliving me from the drudgery of monotonous living depicted sad symptoms.
