Poor land consolidation, insufficient mechanization including lack of precision land leveling, and
inefficient use of agronomic inputs are some of the major challenges in rice production. Significant sloping in rice lands (a slope >0.03% or more than a 3-cm rise over a 100-m distance)
causes uneven water distribution that leads to many adverse effects such as hampered crop
establishment, increased use of seed, water, fertilizer, and pesticides, to compensate for the
effects of an uneven field. These problems can be solved by applying Laser Land Leveling.

This course provides an overview of the benefits and operations to conduct laser land leveling.
