💪 Nutritional & Health Benefits

Red rice isn’t just food—it’s functional nutrition:

🌱 Growing Requirements

Give your crop the right conditions for optimal yield:

• Climate: Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates; performs well in humid and warm zones

• Soil: Prefers well-drained loamy or clayey soils, pH 5.5–7.5

• Watering: Requires moderate to high irrigation; suited for both rainfed and irrigated systems

• Season: Best sown during Kharif or early Rabi, depending on regional rainfall and frost risk

🧑🌾 Planting & Cultivation Instructions

Pre-Sowing Preparation:

• Soak seeds in clean water for 12–24 hours to enhance germination.

• Prepare nursery beds or use direct sowing for small-scale plots.

Sowing Method:

• Nursery Transplanting: Sow seeds in nursery beds and transplant after 20–25 days

• Direct Sowing: Broadcast or line sow at 2–3 cm depth

Spacing: 20 x 15 cm (row x plant)
Fertilisation: Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Supplement with nitrogen in 2–3 splits.

Weeding & Maintenance:

• First weeding after 15–20 days of transplanting

• Use mulch or intercropping to reduce weeds naturally

⏳ Harvest Timeline & Yield Expectations

• Time to Harvest: 110–130 days after sowing

• Expected Yield: 2.5–3.5 tons per hectare under optimal conditions

• Harvest when grains are mature and golden; dry thoroughly before threshing.

🏺 Storage & Preservation

• Clean and sun-dry harvested grains for 2–3 days to reduce moisture content below 14%.

• Store in airtight containers or jute bags in cool, dry spaces.

• Use neem leaves or natural repellents to deter insects during long-term storage.

🍽️ Culinary Uses & Cooking Tips

Red rice is a staple in many traditional dishes:

• Great for soups, salads, stir-fries, porridges, and Buddha bowls

• Soak for 2–4 hours before cooking for a softer texture
