Abstract

Methane (CH4) emissions from rice (Oryza sativa L.) production are a source of concern in the environmental and agricultural communities. New and/or revised agronomic methodologies will be needed to identify production practice combinations that reduced CH4 emissions without decreasing yields or milling quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of water management (i.e., full-season flood and mid-season drain) and cultivar (i.e., pure-line cultivar LaKast and the RiceTec hybrid XL753) on CH4 fluxes and season-long emissions from rice grown in the direct-seeded, delayed-flood production system on a silt-loam soil in east-central Arkansas.
