Black Rice Farming: In the last few years, the trend of farmers towards new hybrid paddy seeds has increased rapidly. 

Due to this farmers are forgetting the old varieties of paddy crops. As a result, these varieties are gradually disappearing.

In such a situation, there are some farmers who are not only cultivating old varieties of paddy, but are also motivating other farmers to cultivate it. The cultivation of black paddy is completely organic.

If chemical fertilizers are used in the cultivation of black paddy, then its crop becomes very long. Due to which there is a fear of falling. 

For this reason chemical fertilizers are not used in its cultivation. And it is completely free of fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals. 

Its main varieties for the cultivation of black paddy are as follows – there are varieties of paddy like Kala Namak, Kala Bhaat, Jawa Phool, Kala Malli, Tilak Chandan, but with time the yield of these varieties became nominal.

Because of this, the Agriculture Department is working to save these old varieties.

The production is also good, whereas, where normal paddy is 20 to 25 quintals from one acre, then the yield of black paddy is only 8 to 10 quintals.

How is black paddy cultivated?The cultivation of black paddy is also done almost like the cultivation of normal paddy.

Black paddy is cultivated in the same fields as normal paddy is cultivated in the fields. Its cultivation is possible only where water is not used much. Because it requires less water than hybrid rice.

The height of its plants ranges from about 4 and a half feet to 5 feet and only potash can be used as a fertilizer.

Due to the use of urea and other fertilizers, there is a possibility of the plant becoming tall and falling. The cultivation of black paddy in an organic way is much better.
