In a previous paper, we reported that prior crops either increased or decreased the yield of paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) and altered its response to fertiliser N. We considered that rice yield responses to prior crop might have reflected the uptake of crop residue N and the efficiency of its use to produce grain. Experiments consisted of dry-season grain or legume crops, or fallow, followed by wet-season rice (cv. Lemont); and wet-season grain or legume crops, or fallow, followed by dry-season rice. Urea at one-third of the rate required for optimum rice yield was applied at 3 stages of rice crop growth: sowing, permanent flood, and/or panicle initiation. Soil N supplied 4.1 to 6.5 g N/m2 to the rice crop, depending on the season. Rice also recovered 0 to 0.25 of the N in the residue of a prior maize crop and 0.23 to 0.57 of the N in grain legume residues or a legume green manure crop; the fraction was greater if fertiliser N was not applied. Increased N uptake was the major contributor to heavier yield. The relationship between grain yield and crop N content was mostly linear, and thus physiological efficiency of N use for rice grain production was essentially constant across the range of environments provided by fertiliser N and cropping system treatments in this study. In experiments where fertiliser N was applied, there were small effects of prior cereal and legume cropping treatments on physiological efficiency. In contrast, without fertiliser N application, physiological efficiency was increased by prior cereal and legume crops, which likely resulted from a greater congruence between the N demand of the rice crop, and the N supply from the soil and incorporated residue, when compared with a fallow treatment.

Water-intensive systems of rice cultivation are facing major challenges to increase rice grain yield under conditions of water scarcity while also reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The adoption of effective irrigation strategies in the paddy rice system is one of the most promising options for mitigating GHG emissions while maintaining high crop yields. To evaluate the effect of different alternate wetting and drying (AWD) irrigation strategies on GHG emissions from paddy rice in dry and wet seasons, a field experiment was conducted at the Tamil Nadu Rice Research Institute (TRRI), Aduthurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Four irrigation treatments were included: One-AWD (one early drying period), Two-AWD (two early drying periods), Full-AWD (wetting and drying cycles throughout the rice season), and CF (continuous flooding). Different rice varieties were also tested in the experiment. In this study, we emphasized one factor (irrigation effect) that affects the dependent variable. The results show that early AWD treatments reduced methane (CH4) emissions by 35.7 to 51.5% in dry season and 18.5 to 20.1% in wet season, while full-AWD practice reduced CH4 emissions by 52.8 to 61.4% compared with CF. Full-AWD in dry season not only significantly reduced CH4 emission during that season, it also resulted in the decline of the early season emission in the succeeding wet season. Global warming potential (GWP) and yield-scaled GWP were reduced by early or full season AWD in both rice seasons. The GWP value from nitrous oxide (N2O) was relatively low compared to that from CH4 in both rice seasons. Rice yield was not affected by irrigation treatments although varietal differences in grain and straw yields were observed in both rice seasons. This study demonstrated that early season water managements are also effective in reducing CH4 and total GHG emissions without affecting rice yield.
