Optimizing water management in water-saving and drought-resistant rice cultivation reduces methane emissions with enhanced net economic benefits
Context
Rice fields feed half of the world's population as well as account for about half of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands, particularly methane (CH4). Choosing new rice varieties and irrigation modes might reduce GHG emissions without compromising production.
Objective
Herein, we aimed to investigate the potential of integrating water management optimization (WMO) with water-saving and drought-resistant rice (WDR) varieties to mitigate GHG emissions while maintaining productivity and economic viability.
Methods
A two-year field experiment in Southwest China evaluated three water management strategies - continuous flooding (CF), natural rainfall (NR), and WMO - applied to conventional rice (Chuanxiang 8108) and three WDR cultivars (Hanyou 73, Hanyou 727, and Hanyou 704).
Results
The NR modes reduced CH4 emissions by 66.2 %-71.1 % and global warming potential (GWP) by 64.9 %-70.6 % compared to CF but decreased yields by 11.5 %-21.5 %. In contrast, WMO achieved comparable yields to CF while reducing CH4 emissions by 53.5 %-61.4 % and GWP by 53.1 %-60.8 %. WDR varieties further enhanced GHG mitigation: Hanyou 73 under WMO (WMO73) reduced CH4 emissions by 13.7 %-21.6 % and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions by 28.6 %-45.8 % relative to conventional rice (WMO8108), due to its well-developed deep root system, which enhances nitrogen uptake efficiency and promotes rhizosphere oxidation. Economic analysis demonstrated that WMO73 achieved the highest net ecosystem economic benefit (NEEB, 420.5 CNY·ha−1) by increasing yield, reducing GWP costs, and minimizing irrigation inputs, outperforming CF and NR modes (both negative NEEB).
Conclusions
These findings highlight that integrating WMO with high-performance WDR cultivars, such as Hanyou 73, effectively balances emission reduction, yield stability, and economic returns.
Significance
This approach offers a scalable solution for sustainable rice production in water-scarce regions, aligning with global climate goals without compromising food security.
