✅ The future of RICE farming is happening now ! ✅
RICE can now be grown in CROP ROTATION and in fields not set with gravity leveling.
How ? With Rivulis Irrigation T-TAPE micro-irrigation systems, enabling water savings, drop by drop 💧, fertigation with liquid fertilizers.
Now the third year in a row, we did rice installations with our partner Magos Irrigation Systems in Portugal, and this year again, many farmers came to see the results of the crop growth in the field.
Beyond water savings, rice grown with micro-irrigation provides good yields, and much less methane emissions (did you know that methane is more impacting climate change than carbon dioxide and for longer?).
Most important learning is that rice can now be introduced in normal crop rotation with tomatoes and corn in any fields, opening new revenues opportunities for the farmers.

Thanks to the Portugal team Nuno, Ivo, Javier and to our partner Magos.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 is a fundamental agricultural practice that supports millions of lives worldwide. This guide delves deeper into various aspects of rice cultivation, including environmental factors, agronomic practices, benefits, and advanced fertilization techniques.

1. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲
- 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻: Rice (Oryza sativa) is believed to have originated in the regions around the Yangtze River in China and the Ganges River in India. Archaeological evidence suggests that rice cultivation began approximately 8,000-9,000 years ago.
- 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 Varieties: Thousands of rice varieties exist, with classifications including:
- 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲: Such as Basmati and Jasmine, characterized by slender grains that remain separate when cooked.
- 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲: Such as Arborio, known for its creamy texture, often used in risottos.
- 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁-𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲: Such as sushi rice, which is sticky and clumpy when cooked.
- 𝗡𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲: Rice is primarily composed of carbohydrates (about 80%), making it an excellent energy source. It also provides:
- 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘀: Essential for muscle repair and growth.
- 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿: Important for digestive health.
- 𝗕-𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀: Such as thiamine (B1) and niacin (B3), which are essential for metabolic processes.

2. 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

𝗔. 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
- 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: Optimal growth occurs between 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). Temperatures below 20°C can delay growth and reduce yields.
- 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆: High humidity levels are crucial for photosynthesis and transpiration, especially during the flowering and grain-filling stages.
