Paddy
Name from Dublin
A paddy is a flooded field used for cultivating rice, typically in tropical or subtropical regions.
The term originates from the Malay word padi, meaning rice plant.
Paddy farming relies on controlled irrigation systems to maintain water levels, which suppress weeds and support rice growth.
The fields are often terraced in hilly areas to maximize arable land.
The farmer planted seedlings in the paddy before the monsoon rains arrived.
