Soil-
Is a loose and friable material
of the earth surface where
plants grow and develop
Climate-
Is the weather condition of a
locality
Temperature-
Is the degree of hotness and
coldness of the environment.

Is a value used to express

alkalinity of the soil.
 Following are the Different Factors to be
Considered in Selecting a Good Site for Rice
Production

1. Soil

2. Climate

3. Location

1.Soil
- A rice field should posses the
following attributes
a. High clay content
b. A 2:1 ratio of top clay
mineral montmorillionite.
c. Medium amount of
organic matter
d. Good drainage
e. Top soil 18-20 cm deep
f. Soil pH range of 6.2-7.0

d. Wind velocity
a. Rainfall.
In rain fed areas, the start of
the rainy season determines the
planting time

 This is because the source of water supply for non-irrigated rice

field comes directly from rainfall
 On the other hand too much rainfall causes floods that
submerged the plants.
 Water directly affects the photosynthetic activity of the rice
plant.
Take a break in farming!
Photosynthetic activity!,
What is it?
b. Sunlight.

Itis the foremost source of energy of all plant life.

When water supply is not limited, sunshine is the most
important climatic factor that influences rice yield.
Therefore, site should be free of any barrier to sunlight.
c. Temperature.
Thermometer

It is a limiting factor in rice production.

However, in the Philippines, Temperature
is almost constant, hence, it is not critical
problem.
d. Wind velocity

anemometer

 Gentlewind is beneficial to rice plants because new air blown

around the plant causes replenishment of carbon dioxide.
 Strong wind such as heavy wind during typhoon may cause
lodging and shattering of rice grain, reduction of photosynthetic
activities and may enhance growth of bacterial leaf diseases.
2. Climate
a. Rainfall

b.Sunlight

c. Temperature

d. Wind velocity
3. Location-
Farm location
greatly affects the
profitability of rice
production
The following are some factors to consider
in the Location
a. the farm should be near the road
to facilitate ease of transport.
b. there should be available laborers
in the different stages of rice
production.
c. Good irrigation and drainage.
d. proximity to drying pavement and
other post-harvest facilities.
 Important Things to
Remember

 Selecting the appropriate site plays a vital role in the success of rice production.

I will group you into three groups and each group will choose
a group leader, reporter, and secretary.

1. Question will be answered by the group, and group

members are expected to collaborate their answers.
2. After answering, post your answer on the board and go
back to your seat and keep quiet, others might still be
answering.
3. If everybody is done, a reporter will report their outputs.
4. Remember you will just be given five minutes to finish
your work.
