3. 1. Land Preparation
● It involves plowing & harrowing to dig-up, mix & level the soil.
● Tillage allows the seeds to be planted at the right depth & also helps with
weed control.
● Leveling helps in reducing the amount of water wasted by uneven pockets or
exposed soil. www.wateronclick.com

4. 2. Planting
● Transplanting is used widely in India because it requires less seeds & is
effective in controlling weeds.
● Direct Seeding on the other hand, is gaining popularity because of its low
production cost, lower water usage & it also saves labor.

5. 3. Crop Management
● Cultivated rice is extremely sensitive to water shortages, so most farmers
aim to conserve all the while having sufficient water.
● And at each growth stage, the plant has specific nutrient needs too, making
this a critical aspect. Depending upon various factors, Pest control
management is also done.
