Do you have any experience, or did Mr Mittleider have any experience
using his system to grow rice? Rice is cultivated in what is
essentially a huge grow bed,(often called a rice paddy) which is
flooded with water, rice seedlings are then planted in the flooded
paddy. Any thoughts on using the Mittleider system to increase yields?
I will be living in Thailand, and hope to find ways to apply the
Mittleider method to traditional gardening and farming techniques. If
you have some fertilizer formulas, can compute using a per acre
formula? I can then convert to the Thai unit of area the "rai" equal
to .396 acres. Thank you.
Ray and Group:
Dr. Mittleider did indeed have experience growing rice. Instead of transplanting seedlings in "wet paddy" growing he broadcast seed into a dry paddy and used the fertilizers with only 3 applications. He increased yields 5 times.
To get the per-acre amount of fertilizer you want to have 110# of actual nitrogen, 60# of actual phosphate, and 110# of Potash.
