paddy fields

Paddy fields are cultivated areas designed for growing rice, typically found in regions with abundant water. They consist of flat or gently sloped land that is intentionally flooded with water during key growth stages. This flooded environment helps control weeds, pests, and maintains the necessary moisture for rice plants. The fields are often constructed with earthen bunds or dikes to retain water. After planting and growth, excess water is drained before harvest. Paddy fields are essential in rice production, providing a controlled setting that maximizes yield while managing water efficiently.
