Brown Jasmine Rice Seeds for Planting – High-Quality Vegetable Seeds for Nutritious and Aromatic Harvest

Product Description:
Brown Jasmine Rice (Oryza sativa) is a fragrant, long-grain rice variety known for its nutty flavor, chewy texture, and aromatic quality. Unlike white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice retains its bran layer, giving it a rich, earthy flavor and higher nutritional value. Growing your own brown jasmine rice allows you to enjoy fresh, homegrown grains while maintaining full control over cultivation methods and harvest quality.

Planting Instructions:

1. Seed Preparation:

• Soak the seeds in warm water (77–86°F or 25–30°C) for 24–36 hours before planting to improve germination.
• Drain and rinse the seeds before planting.

2. Sowing Guidelines:

• Indoor Sowing: Start seeds in seed trays or containers filled with rich, moist soil.
• Direct Sowing: Plant directly in prepared rice paddies or garden beds with standing water.
• Depth: Sow seeds about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep.
• Spacing: Space seeds 6–8 inches apart in rows 9–12 inches apart.
• Temperature: Maintain soil temperature at 70–95°F (21–35°C) for best germination.

3. Germination:

• Germination typically occurs within 7–10 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep the soil consistently moist or flooded during the early growing stage.

Care and Maintenance:

• Light Requirements: Full sun (at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily).
• Soil Requirements: Fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5–7.0.
• Watering:
  • Keep the soil consistently moist or maintain a shallow layer of standing water (2–4 inches).
  • Drain water once the plants begin to mature (about 2 weeks before harvest).
• Fertilizer:
  • Apply a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (such as 10-5-5) during early growth.
  • Reduce nitrogen application once the plants start to form grains.
• Weeding: Keep the area weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture.

Harvesting:

• Brown jasmine rice is ready to harvest when:
  • The grains turn golden brown.
  • The stems begin to bend under the weight of the grains.
• Harvesting Process:
  • Cut the rice stalks close to the ground.
  • Allow the grains to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area for 7–10 days.
  • Thresh the grains by gently rubbing or beating the stalks.
  • Remove the husk using a rice mill or by hand.
