Abstract

Taking into account the likely contribution of rainwater to crop water requirements, is an alternative option for increasing the productivity of water in irrigated agriculture. We evaluated the response of yield and physiological characters to controlled irrigation and drainage (CID) at different growth stages of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Submergence at different stages was imposed in specially designed experimental tanks in 2009 and 2010 based on alternate wetting and drying technology (AWD, the control). Treatments include CID treatment at tiller stage (CID-Stage I), jointing–booting (CID-Stage II), panicle initiation (CID-Stage III), and milky stage (CID-Stage IV). Compared to the control, we observe a strong reduction in root length, root weight and root–shoot ratio were observed in the CID treatments. Under CID-Stage I and CID-Stage II, rice was characterized by faster shoot elongation, larger single leaf area extension, and more total dry mass, as a higher photosynthetic rate was maintained during and after submergence. The CID-Stage I and CID-Stage II treatments increased photosynthesis rate (PN) and transpiration (Tr) significantly compared to the control, but decreased average leaf water use efficiency (WUEL, defined as the ratio of PN to Tr) by 3.3% (2009) and 5% (2010). The PN and Tr also demonstrated close linear and quadratic relationships with stomatal conductance. Cultivation of rice under CID-Stage II resulted in 6% and 3% yield reduction over the control. This insignificant decrease in grain yield was due largely to the reduced percentage of filled gain. The lowest yields were obtained under CID-Stage I in 2009 and CID-Stage III treatments in 2010, respectively. The submergence-induced decrease in the number of panicles per unit area and number of spikelets per panicle were responsible for the lower yields obtained from those two stages. CID-Stage II had an average irrigation water productivity of 1.77kgm−3 for the two years, an increase of about 9% from the control.
