Soil mulching technologies are effective practices which alleviate non-point source pollution
and carbon emissions, while ensuring grain production security and increasing water …

With shortages and increased cost of irrigation water in many rice growing areas, water
saving technologies such as aerobic rice are required to ensure sustainable rice production …

Legume cultivars affect N uptake, component crop growth, and soil physical and chemical
characteristics in maize–legume intercropping systems. However, how belowground …

Non-flooding plastic film mulching (PM) cultivation is a promising water-saving technology
for rice cultivation. However, because the N fertilizer can only be applied before …

It is generally believed that indica/japonica hybrid rice (IJHR) cultivars have a higher yield
potential under high nitrogen (N) supply, but it is not established whether IJHR could obtain …

Conventional flooding paddy systems consume large amounts of water and results in water
body pollution due to low water (WUE) and nitrogen use efficiencies (NUE). Therefore, rice …

Winter flooded paddy fields emit considerable amounts of CH 4 and N 2 O that add to global
warming potential (GWP). However, mitigating the GWP and water use without …

The increased competition for water resources has intensified search for the most efficient
water-saving techniques and water-use efficient cultivars. A 2-year field experiment was …

Newly bred japonica/indica hybrid rice (JIHR) cultivars might produce more grain yield and
have better nitrogen‐use efficiency (NUE) under low N conditions. This study determined …

Physical and chemical soil constraints in the subsoil limit crop yield by affecting root
development and the uptake of both water and nutrients. Hence, improved knowledge of the …
