Although human exposure to arsenic is thought to be caused mainly through arsenic-contaminated underground drinking water, the use of this water for irrigation enhances the possibility of arsenic uptake into crop plants. Rice is the staple food grain in Bangladesh. Arsenic content in straw, grain and husk of rice is especially important since paddy fields are extensively irrigated with undergro...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between grain yield and production costs flood-irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) in state Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, order determine range that maximizes profit farmers. There are estimations pointing out for farmers is about 75 85% potential; however, still needs be validated irrigated Brazil. To validate these values, a technic...

The Kumamoto area, Kyushu, Japan has 1,041km in area and about 1milion in population. This area is a greatest area in Japan which depends on groundwater for all of drinking water. Quantity of this local groundwater use is about 200MCM during the year. It is understood that the main recharging area of groundwater exist in the rice field zone which have high infiltrate height ahead of 100mm/ day ...

A field experiment was conducted for two years to find out best water management practice to mitigate methane emission from the rice-fields. Continuously flooded conditions yielded two major flushes of methane emission and on an average resulted in relatively higher rate of methane emission (2.20 and 1.30 mg m(-2) hr(-1), respectively in 2005 and 2006) during the kharif season. The methane flux...

Improved irrigation management is identified as a potential mitigation option for methane (CH4) emissions from rice (Oryza sativa). Furrow-irrigated (FR), an alternative method to grow rice, increasingly adopted in the Mid-South U.S. However, FR may provide risk yield performance and higher of nitrous oxide (N2O). This study quantified grain yields, CH4 N2O three different water practices rice:...
