Solution(By Examveda Team)
Rice requires water logging for its cultivation while most the crops are intolerant to water logging.Waterlogging is the saturation of soil with water it occurs when there is too much water in a plant’s root zone, which decreases the oxygen available to roots.
Rice is a facultative hydrophyte, that is it can transport oxygen from the foliage to the flooded roots, so to counteract weeds and increase productivity, water is kept in the torrential fields throughout the growing season.
