Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) on Rice Irrigation

In Malaysia, numerous methods have been subsequently established subjected to water-saving irrigation aiming improve the common conventional system. However, among most preferred method, alternate wetting and drying (AWD) adoption are presently in paddy cultivation yet has very limited information, especially locally. Hence, this study intended propose two treatments, namely continuously flooded (control) AWD irrigation, investigate feasibility of implementation. The experiment was conducted at field Padang Raja Kelantan, Malaysia. From result, agronomic performance evaluated by several attributes under growth evaluation, grain yield chlorophyll measurement. Statistical analysis performed on obtained data, both growth, performances, content resulted no significant difference p < 0.05, a 95% confidence level.
