“…It is well established that soil properties can be strongly influenced by conservation agriculture practices and irrigation method, affecting therefore the behaviour (sorption, leaching and persistence) of pesticides in the environment. However, the results often show contradictory trends.…”

“…Traditionally, rice ( Oryza sativa L.) has been grown worldwide under anaerobic (continuous flooding irrigation with tillage) conditions. These can contribute to increased soil degradation and water contamination, and decreased productivity of water use . In the European Union, the area under rice cultivation is 475 000 ha, with 80% of this in two countries – Spain (30%) and Italy (50%).…”

“…found similar rice yields under aerobic and anaerobic management regimes using no‐tillage, but with the advantage of an on average 75% water saving in the former. However, lower short‐term rice grain yields have been found under non‐flooding compared with flooding regimes . This has been described as being due to lower soil organic carbon (SOC) in the soils of the former of these two management regimes at the beginning of its implementation …”

BACKGROUND Irrigation and tillage systems alone or in combination with organic amendments can strongly influence soil properties, which in turn may also modify the environmental fate of any pesticides applied. This study was aimed at determining how amendment with composted olive‐mill waste (W) influenced leaching, sorption, and persistence of the herbicide clomazone in rice field soils under different tillage and irrigation management practices. The field trial conducted covered 3 years in succession, with six treatments: irrigation by sprinkler and conventional tillage without (ST) or with W application (80 Mg ha−1) (STW), irrigation by sprinkler but no tillage (SNT), irrigation by sprinkler but no tillage with W application (SNTW), and continuous flooding irrigation and tillage without (FT) and with W application (FTW). RESULTS Application of W significantly increased the adsorption of clomazone to soil in the first and third years. In the first year, the persistence of clomazone under aerobic (t1/2 = 33.1–36.3 days) and anaerobic incubation conditions (t1/2 = 3.43–10.8 days) decreased after W application to t1/2 values in the ranges 18.1–29.7 and 3.06–5.44 days, respectively. However, in the third year, although clomazone persistence increased significantly in SNT and ST when W was applied under both incubation conditions, it decreased significantly in FT management under anaerobic incubation conditions. The addition of W led to less leaching of clomazone, particularly for the FT case where the herbicide leaching losses were 2.8 and 2.6 times lower in the first and third years after W addition, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Using W as an organic amendment could be regarded as an invaluable strategy to reduce water contamination by clomazone in rice production, especially under traditional tillage and flooding management. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…They also demonstrated the effect of land-use type on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen and pH. There are different types of tillage operation systems which might have a remarkable effect on soil physicochemical properties (Sánchez-Llerena et al, 2016). Asaye (2017) revealed the effect of different tree species and canopy cover on the concentration of organic carbon and macronutrients.…”

Irrigation, regardless of its possible negative impacts on the environment, is the prime choice to combat poverty and sustain food security. Changes in soil physicochemical properties and subsequent loss of productivity are the main challenges associated with irrigation practices. This study investigated the effect of furrow and basin irrigation systems on surface and subsurface soil physicochemical properties in comparison with properties in non‐irrigated fields. The soil properties were analysed as repeated measures using appropriate covariance structure. The results showed significant interaction between irrigation and depth on electrical conductivity, pH, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, soluble cations and organic carbon; but only the main effect of irrigation system was significant on K+, HCO3−, Cl−, SO42−, soluble anions and sodium adsorption ratio. Both irrigation systems had lower soluble salt content on the surface than at the subsurface layer with basin irrigation having slightly higher, but the non‐irrigated fields showed the opposite. The soil pH was high, particularly in the non‐irrigated fields, which could affect the availability of important soil constituents like Ca, Mg, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn, and increase Na hazard and boron (B) toxicity that would impair crop productivity. Therefore, the effects of the irrigation method on the soil properties should be well understood and appropriate precautions should be taken when choosing irrigation methods. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Bentazon is a widely used herbicide in rice agroecosystems that has commonly been found in water resources. To assess how tillage and water regimes affect sorption/desorption, dissipation and leaching of bentazon in Mediterranean rice-growing conditions, field experiments were carried out using tillage and flooding (TF), tillage and sprinkler irrigation (TS), no-tillage and sprinkler irrigation (NTS) and long-term no-tillage and sprinkler irrigation (NTS7). After 3 years, the K values in TS were 2.3, 1.6 and 1.7 times lower than the values in NTS7, NTS and TF respectively. Greater sorption of bentazon was related to higher contents in total organic carbon and, although to a lesser extent, in humic acids and dissolved organic carbon. The persistence of bentazon was significantly greater under anaerobic (half-life DT = 94.1-135 days) than under aerobic (DT = 42.4-91.3 days) incubation conditions for all management regimes. Leaching losses of bentazon were reduced from 78 and 74% in TS and TF to 61 and 62% in NTS7 and NTS respectively. The mid- and long-term implementation of sprinkler irrigation in combination with no-tillage could be considered a management system that is effective at reducing water contamination by bentazon in Mediterranean rice-growing agroecosystems. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
