planting rice
This is a text about growing rice in Benin and was probably not written by a native French speaker. Quote from one of the rice farmers:
J’ai mis en place tardivement le 04 août dans mon champ la nouvelle variété de riz (Orylux 6) de cycle court, adaptée à la sécheresse à Aketé, un village de la commune de Savalou, sur une parcelle de 0.25 Ha. J’ai appliqué sur la parcelle de 0.25 Ha, 50 kg de NPK et 25kg d’urée en poquet fermé.
Poquet is a seed hole, but is he really applying urea in a closed seed hole? Sounds odd.

dibbling or pocket drilling
Haensch & Haberkamp de Anton: Dibbelsaat, Horstsaat = dibbling, pocket drilling = semis en poquets
I'm guessing that he fertilised by pocket drilling, too, with the holes being covered over (which is why he says "fermé) instead of just spreading the fertilisers.
HTH!

Comment: "Normally seed sowing terms, but I don't see why it can't be extended to fertiliser. Thanks, everyone!"

in closed holes
A "poquet" is a small hole made in the ground with the hand, to sow seeds in tufts. As such, without being sure, I can propose "closed holes", and I think it can go in this context.
