In this system of cultivation, farmer has to depend upon rain water. Due to failure of monsoon, the farmer has to bear a heavy loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">A vast tract of paddy in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, parts of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh is under rainfed upland situation.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Field_Preparation\"><\/span>\u0916\u0947\u0924 \u0915\u0940 \u0924\u0948\u092f\u093e\u0930\u0940\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">After harvesting the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rabi_crop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">rabi crops<\/a> in April-May, the field should be ploughed with soil turning plough. The field should be prepared and bunds should be made around the field just after the first shower of monsoon. This will check loss of rain water by run-off.<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sowing_of_Seeds_Seed_Rate\"><\/span>Sowing of Seeds &amp; Seed Rate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Under upland rice cultivation, no definite recommendation for time of sowing could be made because of unavailability of irrigation water and uncertainty of monsoon. However, the crop must be sown soon after monsoon sets in and 15-20 cm deep soil layer becomes completely wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">The ideal time in north India is between end of June and first week of July. If the sowing is delayed, crop is adversely affected because of soil and atmospheric drought due to aberrant weather conditions during the grain filling stage.\u00a0In some rice growing areas, dry seeding a little before onset of monsoon is practised. The seed remains in the soil, which germinates with the onset of rains.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Under upland conditions, drilling or line sowing is always better than broadcast because line sowing facilitates the cultural operations and enables to identify the weeds even at the early stage for weeding purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Usually sprouted seed should be sown in rows 30 cm apart at a depth not more than 5cm. The moisture stress condition may result in poor germination, therefore, about 25% higher seed rate than the recommended rate(100-120 kg\/ha) should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Drill the seeds with seed drill or behind the plough with the help of funnel in rows after applying fertilizer. The row to row distance should be 20 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">About <strong>60 Kg seed\/hectare<\/strong> is recommended. For obtaining an uniform plant population and higher crop yields, it is advisable to thin out the excess plants or re sowing in gaps in the rows after about 2-3 weeks of sowing.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Irrigated_or_Low_land_Rice_Cultivation\"><\/span>Irrigated or Low land Rice Cultivation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">This system of rice cultivation is practiced in areas having an assured and adequate supply of water. In this system, sprouted seeds may be directly sown in puddled field or the crop may be transplanted with seedlings raised in a nursery. It is also called as medium land rice for those areas, which receive an annual rainfall of 1,000-1,500 mm.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fertilizers\"><\/span>\u0916\u093e\u0926<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">In upland rice, organic manures(FYM or compost) @10-15 tonnes\/ha should be incorporated 4-6 weeks before sowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">A basal dose of 50-60 kg N, 60 kg P2O5, 60 kg K2O\/ha at sowing followed by top dressing of 25 kg N\/ha each at tillering stage(30 days after sowing) in between panicle-initiation and boot leaf stage(45 days after sowing) should be applied.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Irrigation\"><\/span>\u0938\u093f\u0902\u091a\u093e\u0908<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Rice requires 5000 litres of water to produce a kg of grain. The high water requirement of rice is mainly due to percolation losses. The water requirement for rice cultivation is 2,500 mm depending upon growing season, soil type, crop duration and management practices, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Transplanted rice, in general, requires about 40-60, 200-300 and 800-1000 mm of water, respectively for nursery raising, puddling and crop raising in main field from transplanting to physiological maturity.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Weed_Management\"><\/span><strong>\u0916\u0930\u092a\u0924\u0935\u093e\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092c\u0902\u0927\u0928<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Infestation of weeds in rice fields may reduce the grain yield by 50-90% in upland, 30-35% in drilled irrigated and 15-20% in transplanted crop. Pendimethalin or Thiobencarb @1.5kg\/ha should be sprayed after 4-6 days of sprouted seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Delayed application causes poor weed control and early application may cause toxicity to seedlings.\u00a0Anilofos @0.25kg\/ha and oxadiazon @1.0kg\/ha should be applied 3-7 days before sowing.<br><br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Harvesting\"><\/span>\u092b\u0938\u0932 \u0915\u0940 \u0915\u091f\u093e\u0908<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Rice varieties take 100-150 days to mature. The proper stage for harvesting is when about 80% spikelets in 80% panicles show ripening. Timely harvesting ensures quality and consumer acceptance. The plant should be cut close to the ground and left in the field for a few days to dry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">Later on, these should be collected in bundles and stalked for threshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><br><br><br><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yield\"><\/span><strong>\u0909\u092a\u091c<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:20px\">A well managed crop of mid-late duration(135-150 days) varieties like IR8, IR20, Jaya, etc. and hybrids yield about 6.0-7.0 tonnes grain\/ha, whereas short duration cultivars yield about 4.5-5.5 tonnes grain\/ha.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From this ultimate guide on cultivation of rice get to know scientific and environment friendly practices of rice farming.
