The crops growing cycle and requirements

for water, nutrients, and sunlight

Temperature & Sun

Cycle and water
Rice takes around 3-6 months to grow
from seeds to maure plants. depending absorbed by the leaf and converted via the process of
on the variety and environmental
conditions. Rice varieties can be
categorized into two groups: the short-
duration varieties which mature
in 105–120 days and the l
ong-duration varieties which mature
in 150 days. A 120-day variety, when
planted in a tropical environment,
spends about 60 days in
the vegetative phase, 30 days in
the reproductive phase, and 30 days
in the ripening phase.
Rice originates in tropical lowlands and
requires a long, warm growing season.
It can be grown wherever nighttime
temperatures stay above 60 degrees
for at least three months of the year.
Rice is traditionally grown in flooded fields.
The growing area should be kept weed-free and
well-fertilized
with a source of nitrogen.
When leaves intercept sunlight, this sunlight is
photosynthesis into the plants own components; leaves,
grains, roots, etc
Nutrient
In rice Nitrigen, Pottasium and
Phosphorus. Nitrogen promotes rapid
plant growth and improves grain yield and
grain quality, and Potassium is essential
for root growth and plant vigour. It also
helps against lodging and improves crop
resistance to diseases. And lastly,
Phosphorus is essential for root
development, tillering, early flowering, and
ripening.

Any farming techniques or technologies human

uses to grow the crop

Using a drone to take a photo and sending the data to the AI that they
use. From the data sent from the drone, the AI analyze the data and they
record the number of the stem, number of chlorophyll, and etc. And from
that own algorithm, they seperated the rice plant’s growth status into 7
separated level. And by sending this data to the drone that fertilizes, the
drone will fertilize by itself.
