An essay on Rice

Rice

Rice is the paddy plant's seed. It has a weak stem, and rice grows on top of it. Rice is the most popular food in Bangladesh. It is home to half of the world's population.

Rice thrives in hot, humid climates. As a result, heavy rainfall is required for its proper growth. Rice grows abundantly in Sylhet, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Barisal, Bangladesh. It grows in India, Burma, Thailand, China, Japan, and Sri Lanka, among other places.

There are three types of rice in Bangladesh: Aush, Aman, and Buro. There is also another type of rice known as IRRI. Aush is planted in Baishakh and harvested in Shraban. Aman is harvested during the winter. Lowerlands are where buro paddy is grown. Aman paddy is the highest quality. IRRI is now grown all year round.

Rice cultivation is difficult. Initially, the farmer ploughs and harrows the field extensively. He then scatters paddy seeds. Little plants will emerge soon. Following that, the farmer weeds the field. Buro is grown by planting seedlings in low-lying areas. Paddy matures in four months. It is then harvested.

Paddy has been detached from the stalk. It is then dried in the sun. When dried paddy is husked, we get rice.

We survive on rice. It is used to make Murhi, Chirha, and Khoi. Rice is also used to make polao and payas. They are made for special occasions. Rice is also used to make a variety of cakes. The straw from paddy is used as cattle feed. It can also be used as fuel.

Our staple food is rice. As a result, we must try to increase rice production.
