Detailed Solution

The advantage of growing rice in nurseries before it is transplanted is that better development and protection of saplings are ensured in the nurseries and transplantation of saplings from nurseries into the fields results in high yield.
When compared to a broadcast wet crop of the same age, nurseries take up only 1/10 of the area of the main crop, making irrigation, pest and disease control, and other management tasks easier. The crop can be sown in the field at the appropriate time thanks to nurseries that are raised in advance. When the seedlings are transplanted, they are fully grown and able to compete with emerging weeds. Row planting makes it particularly simple to control weeds and perform other intercultural operations.
