Agriculture occupies an important position in India. India is the second largest producer of the rice in the world after china. Rice in India is grown across the country and also consumed in all the part of the country. The bulk of rice production is consumed domestically. Rice are a cool season crop. Rice soil should be well drained and well supplied with organic matter. Heavy clay soil should be avoided. Coarse sand soil may be used for specialty rice production under irrigation. Most researchers agree the rice has been cultivated for 5000 years or more. Since rice grew wild in various regions, they were probably consumed for thousands of years and domesticated simultaneously all over the world.
