How to Prepare Your Field for Wheat After Paddy with a Super Seeder?
After harvesting paddy, preparing your field for the next wheat crop is crucial. Traditionally, farmers had to burn paddy stubble or spend days removing it manually, leading to delays and environmental harm. However, with the advancement of farming technology, Super Seeder machines have made this transition smooth, efficient, and eco-friendly.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through the steps to prepare your field for wheat sowing using a Super Seeder and explain why it’s the preferred method for modern farmers.
Complete Your Paddy Harvest Carefully
Before anything else, ensure that your paddy is harvested properly. Avoid cutting the crop too low, as higher stubble helps in better mixing and coverage during Super Seeder operation. Use a sharp, well-maintained combine harvester for clean cutting and minimal grain loss.
Clear Loose Straw (Optional)
Some farmers prefer removing the loose straw left behind after harvesting. While the Super Seeder can handle a good amount of stubble, excessive straw can reduce efficiency. If straw quantity is very high, consider baling or collecting some of it for fodder.
Check Soil Moisture Levels
Super Seeder performs best in fields with moderate moisture — not too wet, not too dry. Moisture helps in proper seed placement and ensures good germination. Ideally, field operations should be done within 1–2 days of harvesting when natural moisture is still retained.
Attach the Super Seeder to a Suitable Tractor
Use a tractor of recommended HP (usually 50 HP or above) and ensure the Super Seeder is properly mounted. Check all bearings, blades, tynes, and the seed-cum-fertilizer box for smooth operation. Adjust depth and seed rate settings as per the wheat variety.
Begin Operation in Straight Passes
Start the Super Seeder operation in straight lines for uniform seed and fertilizer placement. The machine will simultaneously:
Cut and mix the paddy residue into the soil
Create seed beds
Sow wheat seeds
Apply fertilizer
This reduces the number of field operations from 4–5 down to just one, saving time, fuel, and labor.
Post-Operation Tips
Observe seed placement and germination after 5–7 days
Maintain consistent watering as per wheat growth stage
Keep a gap of at least 24 hours before next irrigation after sowing
🌾 Why Use a Super Seeder for This Process?
Using a Super Seeder avoids stubble burning, retains soil fertility, saves diesel, and enables timely sowing — which is essential for high wheat yields. It also promotes zero tillage, which conserves soil moisture and structure.
