“…Physical disruption of the soil profile during tillage is a common practice in agricultural systems to lower soil strength and improve aeration and water management (Eck and Unger, 1985;Hammel et al, 1985). Bedding lowered soil strength in the upper portion of the bedding profile regardless of soil moisture content.…”

“…It also increases underground water resources through the rainy season, so deep tillage has incredible potential to conserve soil moisture. Moreover, Eck and Unger (1985) concluded that water content is increased by the deep tillage practice. Schneider et al (2017) recorded that adding deep tillage can improve nutrient availability and crop yield.…”

Rainfed paddy fields have a great potential to be developed in Indonesia, especially in Central Java. However, water irrigation management, drought stress, pest and disease infestation and low nutrients that affect paddy yield remain the constraints. Unpredictable climate pattern is also a limiting factor in the cultivation of rainfed paddy fields. This narrative review aims to identify and discuss solutions to problems that exist to increase the yield of rainfed paddy fields with several techniques that support sustainable agriculture. This review paper was prepared by collecting government data and interviews with several farmer group leaders as complementary data. Based on field conditions, farmers in rainfed paddy fields provide fertilization inputs that are not following the fertilizer recommendations. Moreover, field conditions with limited water availability have caused paddy cultivating in several locations only once a year with low yields. Water storage can help farmers meet the need for water, especially during dry and water-stress conditions. The farmers also need to pay attention to the appropriate fertilization doses and the use of additional organic matter derived from cultivation residues, which are expected to increase the availability of nutrients in the soil. The use of short-life and drought-resistant varieties can aid in overcoming the problem of crop failure in the middle phase caused by water scarcity. Finally, we identify and emphasize that rainfed paddy fields generally have a limiting factor for water and nutrients and several technologies are needed to contribute to increasing more sustainable paddy yields.

“…Some approaches to this task have been reviewed by Unger (190);El-Swaify et al (1985), Lal (1991), Eck and Unger (1985), Steiner et al (1988). In the course of daily and seasonal activities, the farmer has to combine many if not all of these factors into a systematic strategy or farming system.…”
