    Boro rice, also known as winter rice, is cultivated from November to May under irrigated conditions in places like Nepal. It utilizes shallow water levels and low-lying land left fallow in winter. Boro rice matures before the monsoon and has sufficient time to harvest, unlike spring rice. Varieties like BRRI dhan-35 yield 5.5-6.5 tons/hectare when harvested at 18% grain moisture. Proper cultivation involves sowing from late October to mid-November and transplanting when temperatures reach 10°C in February. Fertilizers, irrigation, and one weeding are needed to control pests and maximize yields.

    Why boro rice cultivation?


    Shallow water level and water logging low land can be utilized by using boro rice cultivation, which remains fallow in winter due to excessive moisture and late maturing rice. Immense potential for improving boro rice yield over winter crops in low land areas. Boro rice matures before on-set of monsoon and get sufficient time for harvesting as compared to chaite rice (spring). Good market price of boro rice due to offseason production. Reduces risk of natural calamities like flood for main season under flood prone areas using boro rice cultivation.
