I still don't really get it, so rice grows as like a hard type of grass, then it gets crushed or ground until the hard grass splits off into the little rice bits that we buy in the shops???

oh yeah, just remembered; for spraying the field a solution of garlic could work, it's used in gardening.

also, isn't burning rice husks a big waste? don't they contain good nutrients as feed for cattle?

or they could be pressed into bricketts and sold for fire.

danke!

a nice video, and a good idea to use nitrofixing bacteria. have you heard of a method of rice growing there you also put in a certain fish and ducks to eat pests!

i am interested in plowing with buffaloes and plow design. do you have any info how they are trained and how the plow is made?

The yield is ranging from 3 - 6 tons/hectar raw rice (palay), depending on the weather conditions. This is approx. 1.2 to 2.4 tons/acre.

After milling 1 ton of palay is about 600 KG of white, polished rice.

Actually there are new hybrid seeds which can yield up to 13 tons/hectar. We tried it already but since we made mistakes in fertilizing the yield was very low. We will try it again. Learning by doing...

how much rice does the harvest for 1 acre ?

[xcalibur1989]

the title is grammatically incorrect. Why do you say "The" Philippines? Its like saying, I grow rice in The Canada

[kWiImL3203]

@xcalibur1989 idiot!The Philippines is composed of 7,107 islands so we use "The" in order to recognize all of them joined together in one country.You don't say United States of America,you say "The" USA.

[xcalibur1989]

@kWiImL3203 ummm no, you fail on so many levels that it doesn't even warrant a response to your assumptions. Also, why bother commenting on comment one year ago?

[5tonyvvvv]

@kWiImL3203 Calm down! America helps us with our food shortages and when storms and rodents ruin crops america feeds us. So we are thankful for america. We need population control, people here need to stop having children.

just like old days,im used to be a farmer before when we left our country,i love what i left behind during my early young aged my dad did almost the whole thing when it comes to the field.he handled rice,corn,peanut and tobacco.i really really missed those memories especially my carabao and goat.

I am still in favor of the traditional ways of planting rice.

And i like best the organic fertilizer..... free from harm:-)

Rice stalks can be recycled to use for growing mushrooms.

Ashes from rice residue can be used as cleanser.....

di na uso ngayon ang manual threshing
