Rice is a cereal grain belongs to the grass family of Graminae and native to the deltas of the great Asian rivers, the Ganges, the Chang Yangtze , and the Tigris and Euphrates. The rice plant grows from 2 to 6 ft tall, with a round, jointed stem, long pointed leaves and edible seeds borne in the dense head on separate stalks.
Rice is one of the most cultivated grain crops in India as well as in Asian countries and a staple diet of a major part of India. India is an important center for rice cultivation and consumption. India stands in the second position after China in the production of rice. Methods of growing rice differ greatly in different regions, but in most Asian countries including India, the traditional hand methods of cultivating and harvesting rice are still practiced.
Modern farming of rice started in most of the countries which drastically reduced the labor problems and cost of cultivation. There are machines available from planting to harvesting the rice crop. Some parts of Indian rural areas still depend on the wet buffalos for land preparation and manpower in plantation and harvesting. People often confuse with paddy and rice.
Rice, when it is still covered by the brown hull, is known as paddy. Rice fields are also called paddy fields or rice paddies. South India consumes more rice than any part of India. Rice can be used to produce Rice bran oil from its husk apart from using in regular culinary purpose. There are many varieties of rice cultivated across India. With a proper filed management practices and irrigation facility, rice farming would be profitable in a short period of time.
In India, rice is cultivated in Rabi and Kharif seasons. However, in some parts of India, rice is being cultivated 3times yearly. There are thousands of varieties of hybrid varieties of rice is available, contact your local seed manufacturer for high yield, disease resistant and which suitable to your region. Paddy can be grown under widely varying conditions of altitude and climate.
Rice can be cultivated as high as m mean sea level. Basically, Rice crop requires hot and humid climatic conditions for its successful cultivation. Rice crop is suited for the regions where abundant water supply, high humid and prolonged sunshine is available. The ideal temperature required throughout the life period of the crop ranges from 20°C to 40°C.
However, the rice crop can tolerate the temperature up to 42°C. Read: Cleft Grafting In Plants. Rice can be cultivated on a wide variety of soils such as silts, loams, and gravels and can tolerate acidic as well as alkaline soils.

However, deep fertile rich in organic matter clayey or loamy soils which can easily be puddled into the mud and develop cracks on drying conditions are considered to be ideal for growing rice crop. Seed selection in paddy cultivation plays a major role in getting a proper yield of the crop. Farmers are advised to select the best quality seeds to raise the healthy seedlings. Note: Before sowing the seeds in the field, they should be treated with fungicides to protect the seed from soil-born fungi disease and also to give a boost to the seedlings.
The untreated high yielding varieties of rice should be soaked for 12 hours in a solution of wettable ceresan 0.

After this, make sure to thoroughly dry in shade before sowing in the field or nursery bed. Basically, the dry and semi-dry systems of cultivation depends on rains and do not have supplementary irrigation facilities whereas, in wet cultivation system, the rice crop is grown with assured and abundant water supply either by rain or by irrigation. The seed rate depends on the variety and method followed.
