The invention relates to a rice planting method. The method includes the following steps that firstly, seed soaking is conducted, wherein empty grains, damaged seeds and heterogeneous seeds in rice seeds are removed; secondly, seedling raising is conducted, wherein a rice seedling bed which is high in terrain, flat, moderate in water seepage and convenient to drain and irrigate serves as a rice seedling raising field, pig manure and nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium composite fertilizer are applied to each mu of the rice seedling bed, then the seeds are sown evenly, and the rice seedling bed is covered with a plastic film; thirdly, transplanting is conducted, wherein during soil preparation before rice transplanting, compost farmyard manure and urea are applied to each mu of soil; fourthly, topdressing is conducted; fifthly, field management is conducted, wherein when seedlings grow, weeds need to be pulled out, pesticides are used for eliminating pests, the shallow water management is mainly conducted in the tillering stage, germination and growth of low position tillering are promoted, and field drying is conducted at proper time; sixthly, disease and pest prevention is conducted, wherein people need to pay attention to rice damping-off, pythium rot and the rice planthopper disease of the rice seedling bed, and pesticides are used for prevention if necessary; seventhly, harvesting is carried out. The planting method enhances rice growth in different stages and further remarkably increases the yield of rice.
