Aren’t you afraid that ducks will destroy rice seedlings by eating
and even treading on them?
不擔心小鴨會吃掉甚至踏傷秧苗嗎?
Of course it’s a challenge and that’s why the duration of ducks’
stay in the paddy fields, the size of the ducks, and the growth
time of the seedlings have to be controlled.
First, the workload of a duck is limited. For a farm as large as 0.1
hectare, the farmer needs 15-20 ducks to get rid of weeds and
pests efficiently. As soon as transplanting the rice seedlings,
newly-hatched ducks are bought.
After raising the ducks for 12-13 days, they are put in the farms
and allowed to familiarize themselves with the environment.
Ducks will “work” based on their habits: walking and eating in the
farm during the daytime and resting after dark.
About 80 days after transplanting rice seedlings, when the ear of
the rice is growing, the ducks are brought back to the pond and
raised there. The ducks are forced to retire and cannot work in
the farm anymore.
這當然是一種挑戰，也是為什麼鴨子待在田裡的時間、鴨子的大
小、秧苗的成長時間都必須加以控制。首先要控制鴨子的工作量
。一分地大約需要15-20隻鴨子才能有效去除雜草和害蟲。插秧
的那一天，就要買進剛孵出的小鴨。小鴨經過12-13天的保育，
才可以被放到田裡熟悉環境。鴨子是根據習慣來工作:白天在田
裡不斷走路覓食，夜晚就休息。插秧大約80天之後，稻子開始
結穗時，鴨子就會被帶到池塘養。牠們此時就被迫退休，不能再
在田裡工作。
