| Description |
For centuries, lowland rice (wetland rice or paddy rice) cultivation has been practised in submerged soils in Asia. Historically, wetland rice cultivation in Asia has been targetted at lands that are flooded or are prone to flooding during the wet/monsoon season. A large tract of low-lying lands, including valley bottoms in the inland valley systems, and parts of the Indo- Gangetic Plains, which get submerged under water during the monsoon rains, were deemed most suited for wetland rice cultivation. Wetland rice is able to take advantage of the benefits associated with flooding of the soils. |
