ABSTRACT

Conservation tillage has proven advantageous in improving soil health and productivity. However, the greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission and intensity from different conservation tillage and nutrient management systems under Indian conditions are less understood. Therefore, here, we compared the effect of tillage and nutrient management on GHGs emissions, net global warming potential (NGWP), and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) from a field experiment under five years in a soybean-wheat cropping system in the Vertisols. The tillage treatments comprised of reduced tillage (RT) and no tillage (NT). The three nutrient management treatments included application of 100% NPK (T1), 100% NPK + 1.0 Mg FYM-C ha-1 (T2), 100% NPK +2.0 Mg FYM-C ha-1 (T3). The results showed significantly higher SOC sequestration under NT (1388 kg ha-1 yr-1) followed byRT (1134 kg ha-1 yr-1) with application of FYM (2.0 Mg C ha-1) (T3) every year. Across tillage, integrated nutrient management(T2 and T3) lowered NGWP and GHGI compared to NPK (T1). The GHGI of NT system was less by 33% compared to RT. The results suggest that GHGs mitigation and sustained food production in the soybean-wheat system can be achieved in NT and RT with integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizer as the major component of nutrient management.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the diurnal variation of methane (CH4) emission in a flooded-irrigated rice field at different stages of the plant development under tropical climate in three growing seasons, in order to determine the most appropriate time for gas sampling in the Brazilian Southeast region. It aimed also to verify correlations between CH4 flux and air, water and soil temperatures, and solar radiation. The CH4 emissions were measured every 3-hour interval on specific days in different development stages of the flooded rice in the Experiment Station of the Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA), Pólo Regional Vale do Paraíba, at Pindamonhangaba, State of São Paulo (22°55' S, 45°30' W), Brazil. Different CH4 emission rates were observed among the plant growth stages and also among the growing seasons. The CH4 emission showed high correlation with the soil temperature at 2cm depth. At this depth, the CH4 emission activation energy in response to soil temperature was higher in the stage R2. Emission peaks were observed at afternoon, while lower fluxes were recorded at the early morning. The most appropriate local time for gas sampling was estimated at 12:11:15a.m.±01:14:16 and 09:05:49p.m.±01:29:04.


RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a variação diurna de emissões de metano (CH4) em uma lavoura de arroz irrigado por inundação em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento de plantas de arroz irrigado, sob clima tropical, em três estações de crescimento, para determinar o período de tempo mais apropriado à amostragem de gás na região Sudeste do Brasil. O trabalho objetivou também verificar correlações entre o fluxo de CH4 e as temperaturas do ar, da água e do solo e a radiação solar. As emissões diurnas de CH4 foram medidas a cada intervalo de três (3) horas em dias específicos em diferentes estágios de desenvolvimento da planta de arroz inundado na Estação Experimental da Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios (APTA), Pólo Regional Vale do Paraíba, em Pindamonhangaba, Estado de São Paulo (22°55' S, 45°30' W), Brasil. Diferentes taxas de emissão foram observadas entre os estágios de desenvolvimento da planta avaliados e também entre as estações de cultivo. A emissão de CH4 mostrou alta correlação com a temperatura do solo a 2cm de profundidade. Nesta profundidade, a energia de ativação da emissão de CH4 em resposta à temperatura do solo foi maior no estágio R2. Os picos de emissão foram observados no período da tarde, enquanto que menores fluxos foram registrados no início da manhã. O horário mais apropriado para amostragem de gás foi estimado em 12:11:15a.m.±01:14:16 and 09:05:49p.m.±01:29:04.

ABSTRACT

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 was reduced to half (1.02 and 0.47 mg m-2 hr-1, respectively in 2005 and 2006) when rice fields were irrigated 2-3 days after infiltration of flood water into the soil. Irrigating the field at 0.15 bar matric potential reduced seasonal methane flux by 60% (0.99 and 0.41 mg m-2 hr-1, respectively in 2005 and 2006) as compared to completely flooded conditions, without any decline in grain yield (60 q ha-1).

ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted for two years on a sandy loam (Typic Ustochrept) soil of Punjab to study the effect of organic materials and rice cultivars on methane emission from rice fields. The methane flux varied between 0.04 and 0.93 mg m-2 hr-1 in bare soil and transplanting of rice crop doubled the methane flux (0.07 to 2.06 mg m-2 hr-1). Among rice cultivars, significantly (p < 0.05) higher amount of methane was emitted from Pusa 44 compared to PR 118 and PR 111. Application of organic materials enhanced methane emission from rice fields and resulted in increased soil organic carbon content. The greatest seasonal methane flux was observed in wheat straw amended plots (229.6 kg ha-1) followed by farmyard manure (111.6 kg ha-1), green manure (85.4 kg ha-1) and the least from rice straw compost amended plots (36.9 kg ha-1) as compared to control (21.5 kg ha-1). The differential effect of organic materials in enhancing methane flux was related to total carbon or C:N ratio of the material. The results showed that incorporation of humified organic matter such as rice straw compost could minimize methane emission from rice fields with co-benefits of increased soil fertility and crop productivity.
