The invention provides a method for cultivating dry raised seedlings through rice mulch covering machine dishes and belongs to the agricultural technology field. The method includes steps of seedbed construction, seedbed mulching, dish sowing, dish watering, dish arrangement, mulching, compaction and seedling bed management. The method is advantaged in that thick and firm cone-shaped bud tips composed of coleoptiles and incomplete leaves of the rice have strong penetrating power to penetrate the mulch for seedling, in the seedling process, the soil is moderately utilized to press the mulch, the mulch film is not closely attached to the soil, certain pressure or tension can be formed for the mulch, rice bud tips can break through the mulch, growth of weeds and water loss can be further prevented, and high soil moisture conservation, weeding, whole and strong seedlings, water saving, labor saving, cost saving, strong seedling and production increase are achieved.
