Question on: SS1 Agriculture - Husbandry of Cereals

Rice is typically transplanted into flooded fields after being germinated in nurseries, while maize is directly sown into the soil. Rice requires standing water for a significant portion of its growth, whereas maize is grown in well-drained fields. The planting depth for rice is shallow, about 1 to 2 inches, as it's transplanted, whereas maize seeds are sown deeper, typically 1 to 2 inches. These differences are mainly due to the distinct water requirements and growth habits of these two cereal crops.
