Conditions of Growth

• In India, rice is grown beneath different
  conditions from sea level to around 2,500 meter
  altitude and from 8 to 25 N latitude. As a
  tropical plant, rice requires high humidity and
  high heat to grow successfully. This means that
  the monthly temperature should be of 24C. Rice
  required an average rainfall of 150 cm per year
  and irrigation can help rice to grow in regions
  where the average rainfall below 100 cm.

Methods of cultivation

• In India, various methods are used to cultivate
  rice. These methods include broadcasting methods
  in which seeds are sown broadcast by hand. This
  method is the easiest and practiced in less
  fertile and dry areas. The drilling method
  requires two persons to plough land and sow
  seeds. The transplantation method is practice in
  regions of fertile soil with plentiful rainfall
  and abundant supply of labor. The seeds are sown
  before to be uprooted in order to be planted in
  another area already prepared.

Production

• India is currently the second biggest consumer
  and producer of rice in the world thanks to an
  increase number of yields and irrigation
  amenities in drier regions.
