In this study, pot experiments with three different nitrogen level treatments under conventional irrigation and MNBI were conducted to investigate the effects of MNBI and nitrogen application levels on rice yield, nitrogen accumulation and utilization. The results showed that MNBI promoted rice yields by increasing the seed setting rate compared to conventional irrigation, and nitrogen accumulation was positively correlated with nitrogen application but significantly increased by MNBI due to the increased root growth and activity. Furthermore, the activity of key enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism, nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase, significantly increased under MNBI at a nitrogen level of 225 kg ha−1. In conclusion, with the elevation of nitrogen application, MNBI improved rice yields and nitrogen accumulation and utilization, indicating that nitrogen and MNBI synergistically enhanced rice yields. Thus, the results provide the basis for efficient and high‐yielding super rice cultivation.","PeriodicalId":92799,"journal":{"name":"Irrigation and drainage (International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage)","volume":"40 4","pages":"138 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50997326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the nonirrigated control with topdressing fertilization, nitrogen fertilization carried out by sewage or mineral sources decreased N‐N2O emissions by nearly 38% and 66%, respectively. C‐CH4 influx was found in all treatments with a nonsignificant contribution to the total emissions, representing average values between treatments near −54.56 g C‐CH4 ha−1. The crop irrigated with treated domestic sewage plus N minerals shows significantly the highest C‐CO2 equivalent emissions (15.12 Mg CO2eq ha−1), and the treatment irrigated with sewage without N minerals showed the highest relation between the yield of theoretical recoverable sugar and C‐CO2 equivalent emissions (2.63 Mg recoverable sugar Mg−1 CO2eq ha−1). The treatments using sewage or with surface water irrigation, both fertigated, increased the stalk biomass and sugar yield, with a higher yield of theoretical recoverable sugar.","PeriodicalId":92799,"journal":{"name":"Irrigation and drainage (International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage)","volume":"72 1","pages":"1053 - 1065"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45837307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the IPCC’s latest assessment, the impact of observed changes in climate trends, variability and extreme events shows that crop yields in many countries have declined, partly due to rising temperatures and extreme weather events. According to IPCC AR5, the major impacts of climate change in rural areas will be felt through impacts on water supply, food security and agricultural incomes. Most studies conclude that climate change impacts will be substantial, especially for developing countries, because of their geographical location and because rural populations suffer from low adaptive capacities. The 22nd ICID Congress, under the theme ‘Securing Water for Food and Rural Communities under Climate Change’, in its true tradition of addressing issues of emerging global interest, and as brought out in pages 139 and 140 of the 63.1 issue, focused its deliberation on two Questions framed as:","PeriodicalId":92799,"journal":{"name":"Irrigation and drainage (International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage)","volume":"39 3","pages":"709 - 710"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/ird.1904","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50981568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
