Roots black and smelly, no new white roots

  1. Roots black and smelly, no new white roots
  2. Rice roots feel black, they smell, almost no new white tips.
  3. That’s paddy reduction — roots full of water, empty of air. Drain and air the field, wait for new white tips. Fertiliser on black smelly roots doesn’t go in. Separate rusty water, cold gleying and burn.
根黑、臭，不发新根
