Drain standing water as fast as possible because paddy can tolerate some flooding but submerged plants die from lack of oxygen and disease in a few days. Once water recedes, wash silt off the leaves, let the field dry to a workable moisture, then top dress nitrogen in small split doses to push new tillering since flood leaches away nutrients. Watch for bacterial leaf blight and sheath rot in the humid aftermath and spray as your KVK advises. If the crop is fully lost and the season allows, go for short duration or flood tolerant paddy varieties for re sowing. Report the damage to the agriculture department and revenue office quickly so you are covered under crop insurance assessment.

Every year baadh comes here. We keep some Swarna Sub1 type flood tolerant seed ready. It survives submergence much better than normal paddy.

After flood, drain first then give urea in two splits. Do not dump all at once on weak plants. New tillers came well for me.

Do file the nuksan report with the karmchari and CO office within the days they tell. Many farmers miss the window and lose insurance.
