Factors to Consider in Site Selection……….
These include:
A. Rainfall - In rainfed areas, the start of the rainy
season determines the planting time. This is because
the source of water supply for non-irrigated rice field

***On the other hand too much rainfall causes floods
that submerged the plants. Water directly affects the
photosynthetic activity of the rice plant.
