Lowland RiceLowland Rice
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Water shortage in has necessitated
the development of efficient water use methods for growing major crops.
In traditional agronomic and water use practices (Irrigated puddled paddy fields), the farmers apply much more water for paddy crop than the actual requirements.
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Growing paddy on beds and furrows is
an alternate, which utilizes much less water.
In Pakistan water efficiency of rice under bed and furrow systems increased to 0.39 kg/m3 of water compared to 0.20 kg/m3commonly obtained under the traditional flood irrigation method
Rice seedlings transplanted on beds and furrows
Rice paddy growing on beds and furrows
OBJECTIVEOBJECTIVE
Determine the effects of bed and furrow irrigation system on growth, production and water use efficiency of lowland rice.
Specific Specific Objectives Objectives Determine the effect of bed and furrow
irrigation system on growth and yield of lowland rice
Determine the WUE of the bed and furrow irrigation system for lowland rice
Optimize the design of bed and furrow method of irrigation to maximize, water saving and crop yield
