Wayanad Jeerakasala Rice
Jeerakasala is a variety that is traditionally grown as an organic crop to ensure the best quality of the product. The organic system of traditional rice cultivation in Wayanad is ecofriendly. This variety which has been in cultivation in Wayanad for many centuries is inherently resistant to pests and diseases owing to thin and tall stature of plants. Hence no chemical plant protection chemicals are applied to the crop. But the thin and tall feature of the plants makes them susceptible to lodging. In order to avoid lodging, chemical fertilizers are not applied to the crop. The manuring is done by raising green manure crops and leguminous crops and incorporating crop residues and farm yard manure as recommended by Kerala Agricultural University. A balanced manurial programme is followed. Maximum use of on farm resources and inputs is practiced to produce healthy and pollution free grains. The temperature between 22°C and 26°C during flowering and dough stage of paddy are ideal for the expression of aroma in rice. The maximum temperature recorded at Wayanad from July- December ranges from 24°C to 26°C and hence is ideal for development of aroma flavour in Wayanad Jeerakasala Rice.
