Typically, organic amendment additions like rice straw (RS) are used in agriculture to improve soil quality. The application of RS may influence the production of methane and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), which may increase the amount of accessible nutrients and organic matter (OM). When compared to farmers' practices of continuous flooding irrigation (CFI), water management (WM) techniques like alternative wetness and dryness irrigation (AWDI) in paddy rice cultivation boost water use efficiency and may result in lower greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) was employed to evaluate the impacts of WM (CFI and AWDI), RS (15.0 and 30.0 ton ha À1 ), and their interaction (RS*WM) on the N 2 O emission and rice yield in a rice paddy calcareous soil. In comparison to control, a single application of RS at 15.0 and 30.0 ton ha À1 significantly reduced N 2 O emissions by 16.20% and 31.40% (p < 0.01). AWDI regime increased N 2 O emissions by 67.0% in comparison to the CFI regime (p < 0.01). According to two tailed Pearson correlation, the correlations between AWDI and N 2 O emissions in the days following rice planting were significantly positive at 0.01 levels. In AWDI regime, adding RS significantly reduced N 2 O emissions by 18.68% and 31.55% in 15.0 and 30.0 ton ha À1 added RS, respectively, compared to solo WM treatments (p < 0.01). Both RS rates resulted in a considerable increase in biomass and rice grain while AWDI had no significant effect on them. Our study shows that AWDI saved 18.50% water in comparison with CFI regime.

To improve the quality of soil, agriculture typically uses organic additions like wheat straw (WS). Water management (WM) methods such as alternative wetness and dryness irrigation (AWDI) in paddy rice farming can increase water use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this study, a randomized complete block design (RCBD) pot greenhouse experiment was conducted to assess the effects of WM (CFI (continued flooding irrigation) and AWDI), WS (15.0 and 30.0 ton ha−1), and their interaction (WS*WM) on CH4 emissions and rice yield in a paddy calcareous soil cultivated with rice. The largest CH4 emission occurred 30 and 70 days following rice planting. Single applications of WS at 15.0 and 30.0 ton ha−1 significantly increased CH4 emissions by 19.60% and 68.70% (P < 0.01), respectively, compared to the Control. Compared to CFI, the AWDI reduced CH4 emissions by 31.20% (P < 0.01). The correlations between AWDI and CH4 emissions in days after rice planting were significantly negative at the 0.01 level based on Pearson correlation. Adding WS in the AWDI significantly decreased CH4 emissions by 27.70 and 25.64% in 15.0 and 30.0 ton ha−1 added WS (P < 0.05), respectively, compared to sole WS. Both rates of WS resulted in a considerable increase in biomass and rice grain compared to the Control, while the AWDI had no significant effect on biomass and grain yield. Our data showed significant interaction between AWDI and WS on biomass. Our study shows that the AWDI saved 18.50% water compared to the CFI.

“…4 Biochar is a great option for carbon sequestration, GHG emission reduction, soil fertility enhancement, and polluted soil remediation because of its high porosity, large specific surface area, and strong ion exchange capacity. [5][6][7][8] The soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC) is improved by biochar. 6,8 In addition, it increases the supply of macronutrients and also has a high water holding capacity, and consequently improves plant growth.…”

Rice yield and carbon dioxide emissions in a paddy soil: A comparison of biochar and polystyrene microplastics

Biochar has been suggested as a soil supplement to improve soil fertility. The world is covered in microplastics (MPs). A pot greenhouse experiment was carried out to examine the effects of polystyrene (PS), sugarcane bagasse biochar (SBB), and their interactions (PS × SBB) on the CO2 emission and rice yield in a rice paddy calcareous soil. The largest CO2 emissions occurred 35–40 days following rice planting, which corresponds to the tillering stages of rice growth. Higher CO2 emissions were detected after SBB treatment. Our findings showed that applying PS increased CO2 emissions in our soil samples. Our research revealed that adding SBB can boosted the negative effects of PS in the soil. The co‐application of SBB and PS increased PS's stimulation of the CO2 emissions. We infer that PS‐SBB interactions have an impact on global warming potential, microbial community activity, and CO2 emissions. Both SBB rates resulted in a significant increase in biomass and rice grain. Our research indicates that PS has a detrimental effect on rice grain output and biomass, but that the addition of SBB can slightly lessen these effects.
