The four basic steps of growing rice are as follows:
Seedling: Select high-quality, adaptable full purebreds, and then soak and germinate them. Soaking usually requires the use of disinfectants with strong sterilization effects, and the temperature should be controlled within a suitable range for germination, and the buds should be placed in a cool place after the roots grow to about 2 mm and then be placed in a cool place for sowing. In modern agriculture, this process is mostly carried out in specialized nursery centres using seedling boxes.
Transplanting: When the seedlings have grown to a certain height (e.g. about 10 cm), they can be transplanted. Rice transplanting is the process of carefully inserting seedlings into a rice field at regular intervals. Traditionally, rice transplanting methods use ropes, labels, or wheels to mark them, while in modern times, rice transplanters are often used. The climate in which the seedlings are planted is very important, and heavy rain may break the seedlings.
Field management: During the seedling growth period, careful field management is required, including weeding, pest control, fertilization, irrigation and drainage. Weeding and pest control are used to ensure healthy seedling growth, fertilization is used to provide adequate nutrients, and irrigation and drainage are used to control water content in rice paddies.
Harvesting: Wait until the ears and leaves have turned yellow, and then it's time to harvest. After harvesting, the paddy needs to be dried for storage and subsequent processing.
After the above steps are completed, the mature rice can be obtained, and after proper processing, we can get the rice that we eat daily. What does field management include in rice
