Excerpt from Harvesting and Drying Rough Rice in California
Because of the alkaline soils and other unfavorable conditions, a large part of the acreage devoted to rice production is suitable for_no other purpose. Rice is naturally resistant to small amounts of alkali, and the large amounts of fresh water used for irrigation keep the alkaline salts washed out. Because alkali is hygroscopic in nature also, an excess interferes with the drainage of the fields at maturity and thus delays harvesting operations.
