Abstract
Aerobic Rice Cultivation System: Eco-Friendly and Water Saving Technology under Changed Climate
Highlights
Rice is an important staple food crop of the world
Aerobic rice is grown like any other crops like maize or sorghum on dry soils with surface irrigations provided when necessary with intensive agronomic practices
Supplementary irrigation is applied in aerobic rice system of cultivation as and when required and can be supplied in the same way as to any upland cereals crops like maize, wheat Bouman et al [4], Wang et al [5]
Summary
Aerobic Rice Cultivation System: Eco-Friendly and Water Saving Technology under Changed Climate. Water is becoming scare for agriculture purposes at present situation. Rice is a semi-aquatic crop among the cereals and its cultivation is a water intensive enterprise. About 4000-5000 litres of water is consumed for production of 1kg rice. There is a need to develop an alternative system of rice cultivation to save the water and other inputs. Aerobic rice system is a new way of growing rice that needs less water than low land rice. It is grown like an upland crop in soil that is not puddled, non-flooded or saturated. Aerobic rice system is eco-friendly approach and safe for the environment
