It’s time to FLOOD the PADDY!<\/span><\/div>
The water flows slowly, slowly, until it covers all the ground and every single grain of sown rice<\/span>\"\ud83c\udf31\".<\/span>And the rice field becomes wonder and magic at the same time <\/span>\"\ud83d\udc9a\"<\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
It is an even greater emotion that we felt today in flooding the first paddy field of 2022, given the scarcity of water in this period … probably the flooding will occur in a much lesser way if the level of drought does not decrease in the next weeks.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
The cultivation of rice has always evoked in the common imagination flooded landscapes and ponds similar to lakes where the sky and the surrounding elements are reflected … it is an idyllic and romantic landscape that today is strongly questioned due to climate change in progress.<\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Will the flooded rice fields still be seen? Is it possible to grow rice without water?<\/span><\/div>
These are just some of the questions to which it is difficult to give an immediate and certain answer … the scenario is quite new in Italy and this is perhaps the first year in which this phenomenon presents itself in such an important way.<\/span><\/div>
Certainly the flooded rice fields can be seen, perhaps not for long periods … If the rains are slow to arrive in the mountains first and then in the plains, we will move towards a rationalization of the water and therefore flooding alternating with periods of ‘dry’.<\/span>More attention must therefore be paid to the rice plant to avoid a total lack of water, its source of sustenance and growth, and therefore the farmer will be called to a new challenge. He will be asked to put into play all the knowledge acquired so far and, if necessary, to foresee new behaviors to cope with this particular vintage.<\/span><\/div>
