The rice harvest time must be done correctly, because this affects the quality of the grain or rice. To determine the time/period of rice harvest, you can use visual observations and theoretical observations. Visual observations were made based on the appearance of rice in the rice fields. The harvest period occurs when the rice grains are 90-95% golden yellow.
Where these conditions will produce good rice and milling. Meanwhile, theoretical observations can be seen based on rice varieties and measuring water content using a moisture tester. Judging from the variety, rice harvest time is around 30-35 days after the flowers grow evenly. Judging from the measurement of water content during the dry season it is around 22-23% and when it rains it is around 24-26%
On Monday 15/2/2021, observations were made on the Ciherang variety of rice plants on the BBU Tangguwisia land (40 acres) which was approaching harvest time. According to the description, the Ciherang rice variety is 116-125 days old. Suitable for planting in irrigated rice fields in the rainy and dry seasons at altitudes below 500 m above sea level. From observations and records of planting times, the estimated harvest time is around 1 week. Observations were carried out by technical officers from BBU Tangguwisia and POPT Buleleng Regency.
