Rice (Oryza spp.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. Dry or mountain rice is grown in a similar way to other cereals but more than 80% of the rice produced worldwide is ‘wet rice’. The rice field (‘paddy’ ) is flooded and the rice is seeded or planted out into about 30 cm of water.
