OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN FARMING
10. Objective:
Identify the factors to consider in site selection
“ Site selection is one of the vital factors to ensure the success in farming”
11. Unlocking of Difficulties
Soil-
Is a loose and friable material of the
earth surface where plants grow and
develop
Climate-
Is a value used to express the relative
acidity or alkalinity of the soil.
Temperature-
Is the degree of hotness and
coldness of the environment.
pH-
Is the weather condition of a locality

12. Following are the Different Factors to be
Considered in Selecting a Good Site for Rice
Production
1. Soil
2. Climate
3. Location
13. 1.
1.Soil
a. High clay content
b. A 2:1 ratio of top clay
mineral montmorillionite.
c. Medium amount of
organic matter
d. Good drainage
e. Top soil 18-20 cm deep
f. Soil pH range of 6.2-7.0
- A rice field should posses the
following attributes
14. c. Medium amount of
organic matter
d. Good drainage
e. Top soil 18-20 cm deep
f. Soil pH range of 6.2-7.0
a. High clay contents
b. A 2:1 ratio of top clay
mineral montmorillionite
1. Soil
15. 2. Climate
a. Rainfall
b. Sunlight
c. Temperature
d. Wind velocity
-Climate change is one of the
factors posing challenge to rice
production nowadays
WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE?
16. a. Rainfall.
In rain fed areas, the start
of the rainy season determines the
planting time
This is because the source of water supply for non-
irrigated rice field comes directly from rainfall
On the other hand too much rainfall causes floods
that submerged the plants.
Water directly affects the photosynthetic activity
of the rice plant.
18. b. Sunlight.
It is the foremost source of energy of all plant life.
When water supply is not limited, sunshine is the
most important climatic factor that influences rice
yield.
Therefore, site should be free of any barrier to
sunlight.
19. c. Temperature.
It is a limiting factor in rice production.
However, in the Philippines, Temperature is
almost constant, hence, it is not critical
problem.
Thermometer
20. d. Wind velocity
Gentle wind is beneficial to rice plants because new air
blown around the plant causes replenishment of carbon
dioxide.
Strong wind such as heavy wind during typhoon may cause
lodging and shattering of rice grain, reduction of
photosynthetic activities and may enhance growth of
bacterial leaf diseases.

23. The following are some factors to
consider
a. the farm should be near the
road to facilitate ease of transport.
b. there should be available
laborers in the different stages of
rice production.
c. Good irrigation and drainage.
d. proximity to drying
and other post-harvest facilities.
24. Important Things to
Remember
Selecting the appropriate site plays a vital role in the success of rice production.
Factors to consider in selecting the site that affect growth and development of the crop
1. kind of soil
2. climate
3. location
Soil pH for rice is from 6.2-7.0

montmorillionite.
c. Medium amount of organic matter
d. Good drainage
e. Top soil 18-20 cm deep
f. Soil pH range of 6.2-7.0
Q4.What are the composition of
climates that can affect rice
production?
Ans.
a. Rainfall
b. Sunlight
c. Temperature
d. Wind velocity
Q5.What is the ideal soil pH for rice
crop?
Ans. 6.2-7.0

Activity # 1
Select at least four cooperating farmers in the community an conduct an on-site inspection of their farm. Based on your
observation identify the ideal site. Use the table below and check the spaces if the factors are met.
Name of Farmer: ________________
Location:________________________
Direction: Of the four sites visited, write the appropriate rating based on the scale listed below, considering the adaptability of
factors in selecting the site.
