rice can be cultivated by different methods based on the type of region. but in india, the traditional methods are still in use for harvesting rice. the fields are initially ploughed and then fertiliser is applied which typically consists of cow dung and then the field is smoothed. the seeds are transplanted by hand and then through proper irrigation, the seeds are cultivated. rice grows on a variety of soils like silts, loams and gravels. it can also tolerate alkaline as well as acid soils. however, clayey loam is well suited to the raising of this crop. actually the clayey soil can be easily converted into mud in which rice seedlings can be transplanted easily. proper care has to be taken as this crop thrives if the soil remains wet and is under water during its growing years. rice fields should be level and should have low mud walls for retaining water. in the plain areas, excess rainwater is allowed to inundate the rice fields and flow slowly. rice raised in the well watered lowland areas is known as lowland or wet rice. in the hilly areas, slopes are cut into terraces for the cultivation of rice. thus, the rice grown in the hilly areas is known as dry or upland rice. the yield of upland rice per hectare is comparatively less than that of the wet rice.
