 What we have here is an area that's that's representative of the higher areas of the fields the areas that were that were well drained So this probably represents 50 to 60 percent of the field The the drainage was good the access to oxygen for the developing seed has been good It's germinated quickly and strongly. It's got a green shoot very quickly and its third leaf is already appearing this is wet direct seeding as it should be done These plants are happy Now what we have here is an area that's representative of the Intermediate zone shall I say when we seeded it was too wet with a little bit too wet and gradually during the week It gradually dried out But it was still wetter than we'd like it to be and you can see the seedlings are much smaller They've had to fight for survival for much of the week But they are establishing and they'll be okay, even though they're slow the establishment density is lower But overall it's an acceptable result. So the seedlings were unhappy Now they're okay What we have here is an area representative are complete failure the area areas like this maybe five Somewhere between five and ten percent of the field stayed wet all week. They've only just become dry That was too long for the rice plants. So here we have an area that's completely devoid of rice seedlings all the rice seeds have died So what we have is an uneven field a non-uniform field The drier areas have grown really well the intermediate areas have grown okay. They'll be okay the wetter areas Have been complete failures. So five to ten percent of the field. We're going to reseed to give it that second chance true Being seeded almost a week later will mean it matures a little later But rice does have a habit of catching up by the time you get to flowering and harvest so I'm not that concerned. I Think in hindsight we were seduced by technology. We looked to the laser leveling laser-guided larger equipment When in hindsight, I think the small equipment the equipment invented here in the Philippines would have given us a more level field Don't always assume the high-tech path is the most effective one So we're reseeding Small areas just the wetter areas the drier areas where the rice is okay That soil is now too dry. It won't seed successfully the rice roots won't penetrate the soil So there's no point putting seed there anyway. We're focusing purely on those small very wet areas with no rice in them at all
