What is rice?

1. What is

It is an annual plant of the Poaceae family and a type of herbaceous rice. It is now the main agricultural crop used as food, and its output is the rice we often see. Its plant height can reach one meter when mature, and its leaves are very slender, about 50-100cm long and 2-2.5cm wide. The flowers it produces are very small, and most of them are pollinated to form seeds, which are rice ears. The caryopsis is edible and is approximately 5 mm long and 2 mm wide. In addition to being eaten as food, rice straw can also be made into vinegar and used to extract oil. Rice straw can be used as feed or as material for papermaking.

2. How to plant

1. Choose the right time, usually in April, select rice seeds and soak them in cold water, which can promote germination.

2. Prepare a loose seedbed. After the seeds germinate, sow them on the seedbed, cover them with fine soil, water them with enough water, and cover them with insulation film. This will keep them moisturized and warm while you wait for the seedlings to grow.

3. When they grow to a certain height, they can be moved to the field, usually by manual transplanting. After the seedlings are planted, pay attention to pest control and remove weeds.
