It is of course very important to implement good and profitable methods of planting rice. Moreover, processed rice is a staple food for Indonesians. Planting rice in a tropical climate like Indonesia can also make it grow well.
However, to get an abundant harvest, you need to know how to plant rice well. Because, in Indonesia itself, even though rice is a staple food and is known as an agricultural country, it turns out that national rice production is not sufficient for people's needs.
A good and profitable way to plant rice is needed to avoid all obstacles. Of course, during the rice planting period until the harvest period, many obstacles can occur, such as pest attacks and inappropriate land management.
We summarize from various sources about how to plant rice well and profitably.
Preparing the land is one of the most important components in this good and profitable way of growing rice. Provide fertile empty land that has been cleared of disturbing wild grass and weeds.
To increase soil fertility when planted. The soil is irrigated with water until it is loose and soft, then plowed using a tractor, then flooded with water again to a height of 5-10 cm, and let the water stagnate in the planting medium for 2 weeks so that the poison can be neutralized by the water.
The next good and profitable way to plant rice is by fertilizing as mentioned a little earlier. Soil that is used continuously for cultivation will gradually become deficient in nutrients. One solution that you can do is by providing fertilizer, both organic and inorganic.
In order to use fertilizer more effectively, you must be able to adjust it to the needs of the plants and the amount of available nutrients in the soil. You can also use natural fertilizer that you make yourself.
