PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a "method of planting seed rice by net laying" for directly planting seed rice to a paddy field so as to achieve a labor saving in rice planting and growth of rice, because in addition to the fact that the rice planting by human power is a double labor of dissemination and transplantation, inefficient due to a repetition of transplanting one single rootstock, and a long and heavy labor, the transplantation damages the rice root and delays the growth.SOLUTION: A seed strain made up by a plurality of grains of seed rice formed into a lump is attached to a position where a warp and a weft cross (or are attached at regular intervals along a line of a warp or a weft) in a net that is knitted in a reticular pattern, and the net is to be laid over a paddy field.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】 人力で行う田植えは播種と移植の二重手間、一株ずつ植え付ける非能率、長時間、重労働等に加え、移植は稲の根を痛め生長を遅らせている。 そこで、田植えの省力化及び稲の育成を図る為に、種もみを直接、水田に植え付ける「網敷き種もみ植え付け法」を提供する。【解決手段】 格子状に編まれた網の縦糸と横糸とが交差する箇所に、(又は縦糸若しくは横糸の線に沿って等間隔に、)種もみを複数粒一塊にした種株を付着させた網を水田に敷く。【選択図】図1
