Expert Answer
Rice is a good source of carbohydrates.
It is the most important staple food crop of India. It is kharif crop which is grown extensively in northern plains, north eastern parts of the country, coastal and deltaic regions. Rice requires high temperature above 200C-350C and high rainfall between 150 to 300 cm. Rice cultivation requires ample sunshine and water. It can grow on different altitudes as long as its temperature requirements are satisfied.
Rice in India is cultivated by two methods- the dry method and the puddle method.
The dry system of cultivation is mainly confined to regions which depend upon rainfall and do not have sufficient irrigation facilities. In this method, seeds are scattered with hands in areas of moderate rainfall and are sown in rows with the help of drills in the areas of heavy rainfall.
In puddle or wet method of cultivation is practiced in regions which have adequate supply of water. After ploughing, land is filled with three to five centimeters of water.
