“…Concurrently, moisture sustenance for a longer duration was recorded under the ridge–furrow system compared to flat planting, which improved the photosynthetic rate and productivity of wheat under deficit irrigation (Ullah et al, 2022). Diminishment of 30%–35% in the water use of wheat was quantified under ridge sowing compared to broadcast sowing (Lamichhane & Soltani, 2020).…”

Excessive use of water in wheat is associated with high fuel consumption and the emission of carbon dioxide into the environment. This study was conducted with the objectives to decrease water use and the associated fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions and to improve the productivity of wheat on a sustainable basis using LASER levelling and sowing methods as potent modulators of these adversities. The experiment was conducted in the research area of the Agronomic Research Station Bahawalpur over 3 years using a split‐plot experimental design and four replications. Treatments contained LASER levelling in the main plot (L0 = no LASER levelling, L1 = LASER levelling) and sowing methods in split plots (S1 = broadcast, S2 = ridge sowing and S3 = drill sowing). Less water use, fuel consumption and emission of carbon dioxide were quantified under ‘LASER levelling’ and under ‘ridge sowing’ compared to other treatments. Regarding wheat crop productivity, the same treatment combination (LASER levelling and ridge sowing) resulted in more fertile tillers, grains per spike, 1000‐grain weight and grain yield. Therefore, we concluded that ‘LASER levelling’ and ‘ridge sowing’ have the potential to reduce the cost involved and environmental pollution (by reducing fuel consumption) and improve water use efficiency, grain yield and yield components of wheat compared to other treatments. Moreover, strong negative associations of water use, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions with the grain yield of wheat were recorded.

“…The drought that occurs during the maximum tiller formation phase and the flowering phase will significantly reduce rice yields [15]. Drought represents the most important and frequent limiting factor for crop establishment [14]. Sugeng (2001) stated that the factors influence the formation of tillers are spacing, fertilizers, varieties and planting season.…”

“…Drought tolerant rice plants are rice plants that are able to adapt to water shortage conditions and grain yields do not decrease significantly. Decrease in grain yield is determined by the level of drought, the period of water shortage and the phase of plant growth [14]. Drought occurs because rainfall is less than evapotranspiration and water uptake by roots cannot compensate for the amount of evapotranspiration so that there is a decrease in evapotranspiration which affects the decrease in crop production [8].…”

Shallow swamps can be used for rice production during the dry season. The problem that occurs is lack of water. The technology needed to overcome these problems is drought tolerant superior varieties. The purpose of this study is to obtain superior varieties tolerant to drought on shallow lebak swampy. The study was conducted from April 2019 to August 2019. The varieties used were Situ bagendit, Rindang 1, Rindang 2, and the Siam (local) as comparison. Data collected included: plant height, number of productive tillers, number of grains per panicle, number of filled grains per panicle, number of empty grains per panicle and production. The method used is direct observation in the field. The data obtained were compiled by tabulation and analyzed by statistical tests namely the similarity test of the middle value (t-test). The results showed that the varieties Situ Bagendit, Rindang 1, and Rindang 2 had better numbers of productive tillers, number of grains per panicle, and number of filled grains per panicle than Siam varieties. The highest production was achieved by the Situ Bagendit variety, namely 4.6 tonnes/ha. Meanwhile, the production of Rindang 2, Rindang 1, and Siam varieties were 4.4; 4.0; and 2.0 tonnes/ha.

“…Numerous studies in the field of agronomy and crop science have delved into the exploration and examination of different planting patterns. These patterns range from the traditional flat planting method to more inventive approaches like furrow irrigated raised-bed planting, as highlighted by Zhang et al (2007) and Lamichhane and Soltani (2020). The findings of these studies have revealed that the selection of a specific planting pattern can exert a substantial influence on crucial factors such as water use efficiency, nutrient uptake, and pest control.…”

he timing and methods of sowing wheat can significantly impact its productivity, especially in the face of climate change. To investigate this, two field experiments were conducted over consecutive winter seasons in 2021/22 and 2022/23 in Kharga Oasis, Egypt. The aim was to assess the effects of five different sowing dates (30 th October, 10 th , 20 th , and 30 th of November, and 10 th of December) using four distinct sowing methods (flatbed broadcast, ridges, rows, and raised-bed) on the productivity of the wheat cultivar Giza 171. The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) software was employed to simulate wheat yield. The results of the experiments revealed that planting wheat on the optimal date of 20 th November proved superior for grain yield in the first season. However, the highest grain yield in the second season was achieved with a sowing date of 10 th November, which showed no significant difference compared to the 30 th of October and 20 th of November. Among the different sowing methods, raised-bed cultivation consistently produced the highest values for most of the parameters studied in both growing seasons. Furthermore, the DSSAT model effectively simulated grain yield, total biomass, and harvest index, with the Nash-Sutcliff efficiency (NSE) values exceeding 0.75. The findings highlight the significant impact of sowing dates and patterns on wheat yield and its associated attributes. Moreover, the successful simulation of these effects by the DSSAT model further validates its usefulness in predicting the outcomes of different management practices.
