Abstract

There are early-sowing varieties and late-sowing varieties. As for cultivation and sowing methods, there are wet farming its common name is musalmi, dry farming its common name is marǔnsami, and transplanting seedlings its common name is myochong. The weeding method is generally the same for all varieties. Though there are many varieties of rice, in general they are all alike. However, there is a special variety called mebyǒ. Highlands and locations with sources of cold water are all appropriate for this variety.

In Korea, it is common to bring young leafy oak boughs to the rice fields and use them with green manure with ash. These oak boughs were procured for fuel, fertilizer, and food. The origin of their efficient use comes from the Korean Ondol system, which used stoves for both cooking and heating. See Kenneth Pomeranz (2000, p. 46) and F. H. King (1911, p. 142).

F. H. King pointed out that vast extent of mountain lands in East Asia have long been taxed to their full capacity for fuel, timber, and herbage. Green manure and the ash of practically all the fuel used in the home find its way ultimately to the fields as fertilizer. However, but he missed Korea’s unique process of thickly coating seeds directly with a urine–ash mixture, which produced almost as great a yield, with the added benefit of reducing the acidity of acid soils. Nowadays, the techniques are used for boosting the productivity of food crops. See Surendra K. Pradhan, Jarmo K. Holopainen, and Helvi Heinonen-Tanski, “Stored Human Urine Supplemented with Wood Ash as Fertilizer in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) Cultivation and Its Impacts on Fruit Yield and Quality,” Journal of Agriculture Food Chemistry, Vol. 57, No. 16, pp. 7612–7617, 2009.

In the “foot sowing” method, a farmer leaves a depressed hole in the soil, using his/her left heel, to throw a seed into the hole. Then, with right foot, dirt is thrown back into the hole to cover the seed.

The ends of weeping willows absorb soil acidity, which can help lower the pH. Seasoned farmers in Korea understand the basal application of fertilizer with willow which is a smart choice, as it contains a balance of the main nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
