Question
Which is the most important method of rice cultivation in India? Why?
Answer in Brief
Solution
The Japanese transplantation procedure, first in 1953, has recently gained popularity. This strategy involves using high-yielding seeds known as 'Japonica'. It involves the following practices:
- As in the previous method, the seedlings are prepared in the nurseries.
- Plant rows are set at 25 cm intervals. The space between the plants is around 15 cm. Weeding allows farmers to care for their plants effectively.
- Manure is used extensively to increase the yield.
- The Japonica seeds give a higher yield in this method.
