Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To cultivate any crop land must be prepared for rice cultivation the land need to be levelled at the surface to ensure uniformity and for good growth of the seedling, planting rice on the hill will not allow leveling of the soil surface to allow good growth

Rice is a plant that is sensitive to water, it a water loving plant shortage of water will affect its production and it is mostly planted in a swampy area where there is enough water. Planting on the hill will not provide adequate water supply to the crop which will adversely affect its production.

Erosion will affect the crop considering the topography most nutrient in the soil will be eroded towards the bottom of the hill and in case of heavy down pour the plant can also be eroded and water will not be retained.
