How and when to plant rice?

The planting time of rice varies from place to place, some harvest in one season, and some harvest in two seasons. North China is a single-season rice. One-season rice must be sown before Tomb-Sweeping Day and transplanted in late April and early May (it can also be transplanted in Grain Rain if conditions permit). The sowing date of early-maturing single-cropping rice in Northeast China is around April.

The growth period of double-cropping rice in the north is one season 104 days, and the second season is 87 days. Generally, they are early-maturing varieties. Avoid winter.

Planting double-cropping rice in the north needs to cultivate extra-early-maturing varieties. In the first season, seedlings are raised from the middle of April in the solar calendar, and can be harvested in early August, about 104 days. In the second season, rice seedlings are usually planted while harvesting. Harvesting before freezing;

Take the plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in South China as an example. Early rice is sown in mid-April, transplanted in early May, and harvested in late July, and then immediately transplanted in late rice (called double harvest), which must be completed before beginning of autumn and harvested in late June. 1 1.
