The difference between indica and japonica rice is shown in stem height, leaf color, and grain.

The stem heights of indica and japonica rice are different, in which indica rice is the industry species of cultivated rice, and its plant shape is looser, and the basal height of Megalena indica is about 100 centimeters, and its basal family is softer, whereas japonica rice is a variety of rice, and its plant shape is more compact, and the stem height of japonica rice is about 80-90 centimeters, which is shorter than that of Canna rice.

The difference between Indica and Japonica is in the leaf color, where Indica has wider leaves, which are light green in color, with white fine pilose hairs on the Indica leaves, while Japonica has narrower leaves, which are dark green in color, and Japonica's leaves are smoother, with no fine hairs on them.

The difference between Indica and Japonica rice is in the grain, where the grain of Indica is long and narrow and white in color, and the grain of Japonica is easy to hull. Its steamed rice is not sticky, while the shape of the grain of japonica rice is shorter and thicker, oval or ovoid, and the strength of its seeds is greater, and it is not easy to appear broken rice.

Growing environment of indica rice

Indica rice is mainly planted in the low latitude and low altitude, mainly distributed in South China and the Huaihe River south of the Qinling River in tropical and subtropical plains, heat-resistant and light-resistant but not cold-resistant.

Indica rice planting temperature three base point mainly refers to the lowest temperature, the highest temperature, the optimal temperature. In the optimal temperature range of planting indica rice, rice may grow and develop well, in the lowest temperature or the highest temperature, indica rice may endure still can maintain life, but the vitality is reduced, growth and development stop.
