In rice cultivation, farmers need about 3 months to harvest. For those of you who have never planted rice or plan to plant rice, I want to tell you that there are 3 stages in rice cultivation.
In general there are 3 stages:
- Seed sowing
- Care and
- Harvest
Seed sowing
- At the stage of sowing rice seeds, you need 12-18 days to plant. Take good care of your rice seeds, because fertile rice plants come from healthy rice seeds. do not forget to spray before 2 days of planting, so that your rice seeds will be free of pests and diseases when you move plants.
Care
- The treatment stage is the most decisive stage in rice cultivation. Yes! Because if the rice plants are not properly treated, of course the harvest will not be optimal. Fertilize 3 times in one planting period. You can do the first fertilization during the week before planting, and give the second stage of fertilization at the age of 15-20 days after planting rice plants. Then the last fertilization at the age of rice aged 45-60 days after planting. do not forget to spray so that the rice plants are free of pests and diseases. Usually in one planting period it will require as much as 8-10 times spraying or depending on the condition of the rice plants.
Harvest
- After your rice plants are 90-110 days old, depending on the rice varieties you plant. Then your rice plants have begun to turn yellow, of course before they were 60 days old they had entered the age of pregnancy or started to produce panicles or grains. the harvest stage does not last long, if you view the rice grains completely yellow means your rice plants are ready for harvest.
That is the general stage in rice cultivation, there are still many other stages that I might write in more detail on other occasions.
