2. Direct seeded rice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Seeded_Rice

   Direct seeded rice (DSR) [2] [3] is a practice of sowing paddy which involves planting rice seeds directly into the field, instead of the traditional method of growing seedlings in nurseries and then transplanting them into the fields. This method significantly reduces the demand for labor, one of the major costs associated with rice farming.

3. Scarification (botany) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarification_(botany)

   In home gardens, for example, the seeds of plants which are otherwise difficult to grow from seed may be made viable through scarification. The thawing and freezing of water, fire and smoke and chemical reactions in nature are what allow seeds to germinate but the process can be sped up by using the various methods described thus far.

4. Sprouting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting

For home sprouting, the seeds are soaked (big seeds) or moistened (small), then left at room temperature (13 to 21 °C or 55 to 70 °F) in a sprouting vessel.

   Perennial rice are varieties of long-lived rice that are capable of regrowing season after season without reseeding; they are being developed by plant geneticists at several institutions. Although these varieties are genetically distinct and will be adapted for different climates and cropping systems, their lifespan is so different from other ...

6. Germination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germination

   For seed physiologists and seed scientists "germination rate" is the reciprocal of time taken for the process of germination to complete starting from time of sowing. On the other hand, the number of seed able to complete germination in a population (i.e. seed lot) is referred to as germination capacity.

7. Seedbed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seedbed

   A seedbed of rice plants. A seedbed or seedling bed is the local soil environment in which seeds are planted. Often, it comprises not only the soil but also a specially prepared cold frame, hotbed or raised bed used to grow the seedlings in a controlled environment into larger young plants before transplanting them into a garden or field.
