We have sown seeds of wild rice Oryza nivara, O. rufipogon, O. sativa f. spontanea and aromatic landraces of cultivated rice, Oryza sativa L. sub-species indica in beds having an unpuddled soils after harvesting wheat crop in the second week of July, 2020. However, the seedlings after germination turned mostly yellow and in some accessions it was white in colour. Even after application of urea and micronutrients (Hipower solution) the seedlings could not recover.
