rice planting techniques

Rice planting involves preparing a flooded field, known as a paddy, to support healthy growth. The process starts with either transplanting young seedlings from nurseries or directly sowing pre-soaked seeds into the soil. The field is kept flooded to suppress weeds and promote rice development. Proper spacing between plants ensures they have enough room to grow and access nutrients. Regular maintenance includes managing water levels, controlling pests, and providing nutrients through fertilization. This methodical approach helps achieve a healthy crop yield, balancing efficiency with the specific environmental conditions of the planting area.
