In 2013 due to the lack of plowed fields, we used two techniques rice planting. 30 per cent of cultivated area, we used the wet method of planning. This way we practice, in extreme cases, as if you use it constantly washed away topsoil, and, consequently, reduced productivity. Basically, we use the traditional methods of seeding, which at one time had been approved at the government level, they enjoyed the whole region.

This conscious farmer does not harm the ecological status of the lake and its fauna. It is necessary that all the rice-growing companies have used methods of cleaning water and generally minimize the use of technology "wet lay" in the cultivation of rice. "
" Approved regulatory authorities events have shown that there really is a serious violation of technologies planting crops, as well as being the use of insecticides and pesticides, - said chairman of the Committee on Food Policy and Environmental Evgeni Zotov. - It is necessary to develop amendments to the federal law to use tough measures against fraud landholders.
