    In ancient days:
    The wild rice orzyarufipogon that occurred 8200-13500 years ago in china.
    The paddy crop is cultivated almost in all states of the country Orissa, andra Pradesh , west Bengal
    and tamil nadu are the leading rice growing states
    Methods of cultivation:
    Two distinct method
    1. Broadcasting method:

    This is the principal system of rice cultivation in India which is done in the process of dry or
    semidry method. It involves following steps.

    (i) Land preparation:

    Under dry cultivation system the land is ploughed immediately after harvesting the
    previous crop. The soil is ploughed 10-20 cms. Deep land is leveled leveling board or ladder.
    This ploughing is done before the arrival of first monsoon. Ploghing is done 3-4 times at
    intervals.

    (ii) Sowing or Broadcasting :
    After first rainfall or partial irrigation the land again ploughed before sowing. Sowing is done
    under moist condition immediate after final ploughing. Then the land again leveled.
    2. Transplantation Method:
    This method is extensively used in the areas where rainfall is much. In this method
    separate seed beds are prepared to raise seedlings and then the seedlings are transplanted on the
    field. This included following steps.
    i. Nursery raising of seedlings:
    Land is ploughed in wet condition or dry moist condition. It wet nursery Ploghing is done
    on standing water. Some countries also adopted 'Dapog' nursery or transpertable nursery. In
    above cases a perfect seed bed is prepared with applying requisite manure, cow dung and
    fertilizers. Seeds are sown on the surface densely. Then the seeds germinate on getting sufficient
    moisture then the water logging is avoided in seedbed.

    ii. Field preparation:
    For transplantation method, ploughing is done on standing water in the field. The field is
    puddled properly by taking all the nutrient or manuring measures. Formyard manure compost oil
    cakes tank slit fish manure green twig NPK fertilizers are commonly used during field
    preparation.
    iii. Transplanting:
    In case of kharif crop transplantation is done when seedlings attains 20-25 days of age
    where as in case of rabi crop transplantation is done when seedlings are of 30-40 days.
    Seedlings are pulled out with base, and made into bundles suitable sanitation is maintained. Two
    or three seedlings together are planted at spacing of 20*10 cm or 20*15 cm. Closure planting
    may be done if the plantation is late.

    Harvesting and Threshing:
    It is done by 25-30days of after flowering harveating can be done. At the time of harvest the
    ears should be ripe and straw as slightly green .Then the paddy is ready for storage or grain processing.

    dried and then milled.
