The document discusses important factors to consider when selecting sites for rice farming, including soil, climate, and location. Specifically, it identifies ideal soil properties like high clay content, pH between 6.2-7.0, and drainage. Climate factors that impact rice include rainfall, sunlight, temperature, and wind velocity. Location is also important, as proximity to roads, labor, irrigation, and markets can affect profitability. Overall, carefully selecting sites based on these soil, climate, and location factors is vital for successful rice production.

11. Unlocking of Difficulties
Soil-
Is a loose and friable material of the
earth surface where plants grow and
develop
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-
Climate-
Is the weather condition of a locality

-Climate change is one of the
factors posing challenge to rice
production nowadays
WHATISCLIMATECHANGE?

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.

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.
