Simulating the Long-Term Effects of Fertilizer and Water Management on Grain Yield and Methane Emissions of Paddy Rice in Thailand

Rice is an important economic crop in Thailand. However, paddy rice fields are one of the largest anthropogenic sources of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions. Therefore, suitable crop management practice is necessary to reduce CH<sub>4</sub> emissions while rice grain yield i...

Simulating the Long-Term Effects of Fertilizer and Water Management on Grain Yield and Methane Emissions of Paddy Rice in Thailand
description Rice is an important economic crop in Thailand. However, paddy rice fields are one of the largest anthropogenic sources of methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions. Therefore, suitable crop management practice is necessary to reduce CH<sub>4</sub> emissions while rice grain yield is maintained. This study aimed to evaluate appropriate options of fertilizer and water management practices for Thai rice cultivation with regards to improving rice grain yield and reducing CH<sub>4</sub> emissions. The Denitrification–Decomposition (DNDC) model was used to simulate grain yield and the emission of CH<sub>4</sub> under the three fertilizer options (chemical fertilizer (F), manure (M) and chemical fertilizer + manure (F + M)) with three water management options (continuous flooding (CF), mid-season drainage (MD) and alternate wet and dry (AWD)) during the years 2011–2050.
