“…The CH 4 emission values simulated in this study are similar to that reported by Jain et al (2000) and Adhya et al (2000) for Indian rice fields. However, emissions were smaller (20-40 kg ha −1 ) compared to that reported from many other countries such as Philippines (100-150 kg ha −1 ) (Corton et al, 2000) and Japan (150-200 kg ha −1 ) (Yagi et al, 1996).…”

“…However, application of more than 180 kg N ha −1 through urea increased N 2 O emission because larger fluxes of NH + 4 -N. Substituting 60 kg N ha −1 urea N with farmyard manure (FYM) reduced grain yield and N uptake by rice but increased GHG emissions as compared to application of 120 kg N ha −1 through urea alone. Addition of organic C through FYM was responsible for such increase in the GHG emissions (Adhya et al, 2000;Pathak et al, 2002).…”

Abstract. The Denitrification and Decomposition (DNDC) model was evaluated for its ability to simulate methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from Indian rice fields with various management practices. The model was calibrated and validated for field experiments in New Delhi, India. The observed yield, N uptake and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were in good agreement with the values predicted by the model. The model was then applied for estimation of GHG emissions from rice fields in India using a newly compiled soil/climate/land use database. Continuous flooding of rice fields (42.25 million ha) resulted in annual net emissions of 1.07-1.10, 0.04-0.05 and 21.16-60.96 Tg of CH 4 -C, N 2 O-N and CO 2 -C, respectively, with a cumulated global warming potential (GWP) of 130.93-272.83 Tg CO 2 equivalent. Intermittent flooding of rice fields reduced annual net emissions to 0.12-0.13 Tg CH 4 -C and 16.66-48.80 Tg CO 2 -C while N 2 O emission increased to 0.05-0.06 Tg N 2 O-N. The GWP, however, reduced to 91.73-211.80 Tg CO 2 equivalent. The study suggested that the model could be applied for estimating the GHG emissions and the influences of agronomic management, soil and climatic parameters on the GHG emissions from rice fields in India.

“…Decomposition of organic materials offers the predominant source of methanogenic substrates, particularly in the early stage of rice development. Adhya et al [2000] found that application of Sesbania and Azolla increased CH 4 by 214% and 55% compared with the application of pure urea. In the present study, CH 4 was increased by a factor of 1.6 and 3.7 due to wheat straw incorporation, dependent on the water regime in 2000.…”

[1] A 3-year field experiment was conducted to simultaneously measure methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from rice paddies under various agricultural managements including water regime, crop residue incorporation, and synthetic fertilizer application. In contrast with continuous flooding, midseason drainage incurred a drop in CH 4 fluxes while triggering substantial N 2 O emission. Moreover, N 2 O emissions after midseason drainage depended strongly on whether or not fields were waterlogged due to intermittent irrigation. Urea application tended to reduce CH 4 emissions but significantly increased N 2 O emissions. Under a water regime of flooding-midseason drainagereflooding-moist intermittent irrigation but without water logging (F-D-F-M), both wheat straw and rapeseed cake incorporation increased CH 4 emissions by 252%, and rapeseed cake increased N 2 O by 17% while wheat straw

“…Flooded rice fields emit CH 4 due to a methanogenesis process that occurs in anaerobic conditions, during which organic matter (OM) undergoes decomposition [4]. Factors affecting CH 4 emissions, such as weather conditions [5], the water regime [6], soil properties [7], land practices, i.e., irrigation [8], organic amendments [9], fertilization [10], and rice varieties [11], have been considered. Most N 2 O emissions occur from nitrogen (N) fertilizer application [12], for which the N application rate is the main driver of N 2 O production for either wet or dry soil [13].…”

Land management practices for rice productivity and carbon storage have been a key focus of research leading to opportunities for substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The effects of land management practices on global warming potential (GWP) and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) from rice production within the farm gate were investigated. For the 13 study sites, soil samples were collected by the Land Development Department in 2004. In 2014, at these same sites, soil samples were collected again to estimate the soil organic carbon sequestration rate (SOCSR) from 2004 to 2014. Surveys were conducted at each sampling site to record the rice yield and management practices. The carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, Net GWP, and GHGI associated with the management practices were calculated. Mean rice yield and SOCSR were 3307 kg·ha −1 ·year −1 and 1173 kg·C·ha −1 ·year −1 , respectively. The net GWP varied across sites, from 819 to 5170 kg·CO 2 eq·ha −1 ·year −1 , with an average value of 3090 kg·CO 2 eq·ha −1 ·year −1 . GHGI ranged from 0.31 to 1.68 kg·CO 2 eq·kg −1 yield, with an average value of 0.97 kg·CO 2 eq·kg −1 yield. Our findings revealed that the amount of potassium (potash, K 2 O) fertilizer application rate is the most significant factor explaining rice yield and SOCSR. The burning of rice residues in the field was the main factor determining GHGI in this area. An effective way to reduce GHG emissions and contribute to sustainable rice production for food security with low GHGI and high productivity is avoiding the burning of rice residues.
