Rice Production - Ground Preparation

Ground Preparation

Ground preparation is a very important activity in the rice production. Proper land preparation will ensure proper supply of nutrients to the soil, weed management and harvesting.

Ground preparation can be done from mopping up the floor or mowing the soil completely, depending on the environment. First, Soil can be divide into parts of the soil, secondly the soil into smaller parts and finally the leveling.

Generally the soil preparation takes 3-4 weeks and the most common soil preparation method is as follows.

• Adjusting toes as needed.
• Application of glyphosate to control weeds
• Water the glyphosate for 2-3 days.
• Leave the water for 3-7 days (2-3 centimeters high)
• Sewing with machine tools or plows.
• Leave it under water for about 14 days.

If necessary, the soil can be re-weeded according to the condition of the weeds.

Rice Production

Paddy Field 

World rice consumption has been increasing by 10 million metric tons per year since the last decade. Therefore, it should be borne in mind that rice production is a good profit-making business.

Rice production is a somewhat more diligent process / job than other crops, and it is a business that can produce good yields and profit with good understanding.

According to the past average data on harvest, one hectare of well cultivated paddy fields can yield a harvest of 4300 - 6000 kg per season.

Agriculturists show that she main stages of rice production are carried out under several stages.

• Seed selection
• Preparing the ground
• Plants / Paddy Planting
• Water Supply
• Provision of nutrition and protection for cultivation
• Harvesting
• Yield insurance

Each of these phases will be discussed separately in the future posts.
