Growth
Important management factors should be considered during the growth of the rice crop. These include planting method, water, fertilizer, weeds, and pests and diseases.
Planting
Planting the crop on time will help to produce a fast-growing, uniform crop that will have higher yields and will be better able to compete with weeds and pests.
Water management
Rice is typically grown in bunded fields that are continuously flooded up to 7-10 days before harvest.Continuous flooding helps ensure sufficient water and control weeds.
Nutrient management
Most soils provide only a limited amount of nutrients to the crops, therefore fertilizers need to be applied to increase grain yield.
Weed management
Weeds compete directly with the rice plants and reduce rice yield. Presence of each 1 kg dry matter of weeds is equivalent to 1 kg grain loss.
Pest and disease management
Clean the field between seasons by managing stubbles and ratoons, and by maintaining & repairing bunds.
