Why is rice grown on soils that hold water? ( Explain in brief )

$\huge\underline\mathrm{AnSweR}$

The main reason for flooding the rice fields is that most rice varieties maintain better growth and produce higher yields when grown in flooded soils, than when grown in dry soils. The water layer also helps to suppress the weeds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Standing water only arrests weed growth; it has no other beneficial impact on rice plants. But sri encourages weeds to grow in the spaces between plants. Meticulous weeding ensures pests do not intrude in to the plant area. In fact the rice plant sucks away nutrients from the weeds.

Rice is a tropical plant that requires sufficient water to grow well. Therefore, the soil used in growing rice should have a good water holding capacity. Silt clay, silt clay loam and clay are some of the soil textures that are best for rice farming. Fertile riverine alluvial soil is best for rice cultivation.
