Description:
Rice is the seed of thegrass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryzaglaberrima (African rice). As acereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part ofthe world's human population, especially in Asia. It is the agriculturalcommodity with the third-highest worldwide production, after sugarcane andmaize.
Seed is a living productthat must be grown, harvested, and processed correctly in order to realise theyield potential of any rice variety. Good quality seed can increase yields by 5-20%. Using good seed leads to lower seeding rates, higher crop emergence, reducedreplanting, more uniform plant stands, and more vigorous early crop growth.Before rice can be planted, the soil should be in the best physical conditionfor crop growth and the soil surface is level. Land preparation involvesplowing and harrowing to ‘till’ or dig-up, mix and level the soil.
Prior to planting rice,rice growers must ensure their farm meets the strict environmental guidelinesfor rice production. Once approved, many farmers design a whole farm plan toassist in managing the efficient use of natural resources and to determine themost suitable rotations. Many rice growers have already invested in designingwhole farm plans. Planting the crop on time will help produce a fast-growing,uniform crop that will have higher yields and will be better able to competewith weeds and pests. The best time to plant depends on the locality, variety,water availability, and the best harvest time. Rice can either be transplantedfrom a nursery or direct-seeded in the field.
