[Agricultural and Fisheries Newspaper=Reporter Nara Park] The Chungnam Province, using its own developed early-maturing rice variety 'Ppareumi', has successfully demonstrated the 'umbyeo (ratoon) cultivation' technology, which allows for two harvests from a single planting, thereby changing the paradigm of domestic rice farming. This technology involves not plowing the field after the rice harvest and supplying only water and a small amount of fertilizer, enabling a second rice harvest in 80 days, an innovative achievement that has localized the tropical cultivation method, previously considered impossible in the country. This field demonstration was carried out on a large scale in 30,000㎡ of paddy fields in Seobu-myeon, Hongseong, and 45,000㎡ in Songak-myeon, Dangjin. Planting was done in early May, the first harvest was completed in early August, and the remaining rice stalks were watered.
