Rice Farming

Rice farming involves growing rice plants, primarily in flooded fields called paddies. Farmers prepare the land by leveling and flooding it, which helps control weeds and pests. They plant rice seeds either directly in the field or by transplanting seedlings. Throughout the growing season, the fields stay flooded to support rice growth. When the grains mature, the water is drained, and harvesters collect the rice. The process often requires careful management of water, nutrients, and pests to ensure a good yield. Rice farming is vital for feeding millions worldwide and is practiced in many countries with suitable climates.
