Abstract

Achieving higher productivity in irrigated rice production is becoming ever-more important. A modified rice-cultivation method, the System of Rice Intensification (SRI), recommends keeping rice fields moist but unflooded during the crop’s vegetative stage, usually with alternate-wetting-and-drying (AWD), then maintaining shallow flooding during the post-vegetative stage of crop growth. However, no evidence is available on how flooding paddy fields continuously vs. alternately during the post-vegetative stage under SRI might influence the crops’ physiology, root growth, grain yield, and water productivity.
