Wet rice cultivation is a farming method primarily used in regions with abundant water supply, such as Southeast Asia. This technique involves flooding fields, known as paddies, to create a suitable environment for growing rice. The water helps control weeds and pests while providing essential nutrients to the rice plants. Farmers typically prepare the land by tilling and leveling it before flooding. After planting rice seedlings, they maintain the water level throughout the growing season. This method not only supports rice growth but also contributes to the ecosystem by providing habitats for various aquatic species.
