Land preparation is important to ensure that the rice field is ready for planting. A well-prepared field controls weeds, recycles plant nutrients, and provides a soft soil mass for transplanting and a suitable soil surface for direct seeding.Land preparation covers a wide range of practices from zero-tillage or minimum tillage which minimizes soil disturbance through to a totally `puddled` soil which actually destroys soil structure.It typically involves 1 plowing to `till` or dig-up, mix, and overturn the soil; 2 harrowing to break the soil clods into smaller mass and incorporate plant residue, and 3 leveling the field.
