  1. Seed Preparation Seed Structure The rice seed consists of brown rice (which consists of the embryo and endosperm) and the rice bran that protects it. The embryo has organs that will become leaves and roots after germination, while the endosperm contains the nutrients needed for its growth. Seed Sterilization Sterilize the source of the disease, namely white-tip nematode of rice, Gibberella fujikuroi, Pseudomonas glumae, blast disease etc. in rice seeds. Rice Seed Soaking Soak for about 10 days, so that the rice seeds can absorb enough water. Accelerating Sprouting On the day before planting the seeds, encourage germination by warming them to 30 - 32°C. Make a seed shape in the shape of a dove's chest, that is, sprout about 1 mm. 2.

 1. Growth of Every Organ (1) Plant Body Leaves, stems, and roots are organs for growth referred to as vegetative organs. Flowers and fruit are organs to produce offspring called generative organs. (2) Vegetative Growth and Generative growth Growth is divided into vegetative and generative growth. Vegetative growth is growth that occurs in vegetative organs (leaves, stems, roots, etc.) Sexual growth is growth to produce fruit and seeds. The terms and processes of transition from vegetative growth to generative growth vary depending on the type of plant. (3) Photosynthesis Plants carry out photosynthesis. The process of photosynthesis requires light, carbon dioxide CO2, and water H2O. Plants make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis. In general, the process of photosynthesis is carried out more if the light is getting stronger. (4) Breathing Plants do more breathing, when plants grow rapidly or in conditions of high air temperature. In conditions of high air temperature a

Therefore, cultivation is carried out using widely spread cultivation facilities and covering materials, similar vegetables can be produced throughout the year. This is referred to as year-round vegetable cultivation. 3. Fruit Cultivation Perennial evergreen fruit trees are an example as are citrus type trees inclu
