The invention discloses a rice planting method with high percentage of earbearing tiller. The rice planting method comprises the following steps: a, selecting seeds, namely selecting a proper-planting, disease-resistant, lodging-resistant, strong-tillering large-ear and high-maturing-rate rice variety for further screening and treating; b, selecting a rice seedling field, namely, selecting the rice seedling field having the advantages of being convenient in traffic, smooth in irrigation and drainage, flat in terrain, sheltered from the wind, exposed to the sun, loose in texture, water-permeability, ventilating, and high in fertility; c, seed pretreatment namely, selecting proper weather within a week before sowing, drying seeds in sunlight for 8-12 hours, after seed drying is finished, placing the seeds in a seed screening liquid for screening, removing floating soil and the dust, screening mildewed and shrivelled seeds away, and reserving seeds with full grains. The rice planting method has the beneficial effects that by seed selecting in the earlier stage, the rice variety with high ear setting percentage is selected for planting, and reasonable cultivation, weeding treatment, quantitative fertilization and the accurate prevention and control of insect pests are assisted in the middle stage, so that the ear setting percentage of the rice is remarkably improved, the planting yield is improved, and the planting method is suitable for wide popularization.
