The invention discloses a method for breeding procambarus clarkii in a rice field. The method comprises the following steps of 1, rice field selection, wherein an early-maturing rice field with a sufficient water source, flesh water quality, fertile soil, a good water retention property and convenient water entrance and drainage is selected as a breeding field; 2, rice field building, wherein (1)ridges are reinforced; (2) procambarus clarkii breeding ditches are dug; and (3) anti-escape facilities are arranged; 3, seedling releasing preparation, wherein (1) quick lime is applied to the procambarus clarkii breeding ditches for disinfection 15 days before seedling releasing; (2) farmyard manure is applied; and (3) waterweeds are transplanted in the procambarus clarkii breeding ditches; four, procambarus clarkii larva stocking, wherein parent procambarus clarkii is stocked before and after September, and procambarus clarkii larvae are put in before and after May; 5, rice transplanting insertion, wherein rice seedlings are transplanted into the rice field in the early June; 6, food feeding, wherein pellet feed serves as a main material; 7, water quality management, wherein water is changed according to the season; and 8, procambarus clarkii appearing timely on the market, wherein the procambarus clarkii conforms to specifications on the market, and the procambarus clarkii is caught timely. The method for breeding the procambarus clarkii in the rice field has the advantages that in the process of breeding, anti-escape measures are taken, enough feed is supplemented, the water quality is controlled, and the yield of the procambarus clarkii can be improved.
