Doubling of farmers income through paddy cum fish culture.
Paddy-Fish-Culture Technology.
Introduction:
*A rice-fish system is an integrated rice field or pond complex, where fish
are grown concurrently or alternately with rice.
*Minor carp and Thai carp are highly suitable for this practice.
*In this technique, fish are stocked in the paddy field after harvesting
rice from the land.
* 6-7 months rearing of fish is possibleby this way until rice plantation
in the next season.
*Carp and barb species are suitable for stocking but grass crap can also
be stocked.
*Enhanced rice yield by 5-15%,which is due to the indirect organic fertilization through
the fish excreta.
* Additional income.
* Insect pests of rice like stem borers are controlled by fish feeding on them mainly by
murrels and catfishes.
* Fishes like common carp & tilapia may uproot rice sedling.
