In more and more agriculture projects, a water reservoir is built to keep water. the water in the reservoir can be used for rice farming to grow up, so the water should be clean and enough. A geomembrane is a very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering-related material so about control fluid (or gas) migration ...
Tianjin is a major port city in northern coastal China and one of China’s most populated cities. The City of Tianjin selected BacTee’s parent company, MTI, to design and construct a new composting facility. The Tianjin Zhengguizhung Composting facility is the first to combine the BDP Industries agitated bay technologies with the BacTee Systems negative aeration system. Negative ...
Longer periods of seawater intrusion in the river’s delta system threatens a collapse of Vietnam’s food chain The countless boats, houses, and markets on the Mekong River delta’s complex lattice of streams, rivers, and canals are home to millions of inhabitants, who all depend on the health of the delta. The 65,000-km2 region sustains 60% of Vietnam’s population and is ...
In June, the rice-planting season will shift into high gear across the country. And as anyone who has worked with rice knows, it’s unique because of the irrigated conditions it’s grown in. For the crop to be a success, you need a levee that produces the right controlled flooding environment. To help you be successful this season, AMCO has created this guide to building levees that ...
Planting cover crops, crop rotations, using no-till farming, and reducing inputs are some of the regenerative practices that can support carbon sequestration, soil biodiversity, and healthy end-products for consumers. ...
Common Ground has been here since 1982, when Jeavons broke ground at the first of three Ecology Action mini-farms in the county (backyard gardeners and schoolchildren are taught at a fourth farm in Palo Alto). ...

Their conclusion is that the human impact of methane and nitrous oxide emissions – from such sources as dairy farms, rice paddies and wheat fields – far outweighed the terrestrial uptake of carbon dioxide. ...
The effects of changes in meteorological parameters on rice yield variations were considered. Weather parameters, temperature (T), rainfall (R), relative humidity (RH) and solar radiation (SR), and rice yield variation for Ibadan were analyzed. Meteorological parameters were obtained from the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture while rice yield data were obtained from the Africa ...
The Inner Niger Delta in central Mali is a giant green oasis on the edge of the Sahara desert. It is one of the country’s most productive areas, but also among its poorest. At the height of the wet season, when the River Niger is swollen by heavy rainfall in Guinea, an area the size of Belgium, from Mopti to Tombouctou, turns into a landscape of lakes. As I discovered on a previous visit ...
For the rice-dependent agrarian inhabitants of the delta, this was a cause for serious concern. ...

Rare earth elements (REEs) at proper concentrations were observed to alleviate heavy metal stress. However, the potential mechanisms are not clear. Thus, the present work focused on the mechanisms of lanthanum (La) ions on the generation and elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in leaves of rice seedlings hydroponically cultivated in 30 µM cadmium chloride (CdCl2) for two ...
This study highlights the spatial and temporal impacts of climate change on rice–wheat cropping systems, focusing on irrigation water requirement (IWR) in the Bagmati River Basin of Nepal. The outputs from a general circulation model (HadCM3) for two selected scenarios (A2 and B2) of IPCC and for three time periods (2020s, 2050s, and 2080s) have been downscaled and compared to a baseline ...
In the Albufera (València) region of Spain, rice has been farmed for nearly 500 years. Post-harvest flooding of rice fields has become an integral element of wetland refuge for migratory birds. The steady rise in the cost of purchased inputs is causing considerable economic stress to the viability of rice ...
There is growing evidence that monsoon patterns are changing in the Himalayan region, which could potentially result in loss and damage for local farmers. To understand how farmers adapt to changes in water availability, we conducted a study in Punakha district, Bhutan, using qualitative and quantitative research tools. According to 91% of 273 respondents, water availability for rice irrigation ...
Based on a survey of 360 farming households in four villages and on focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and community consultations, this paper explores how salinity intrusion affects rice production. ...
Improved cultivars and chemical fertilisers may play an important role in these systems, but they do not take centre stage, as they did in past decades. Rather, on-farm learning and adaptation are the key. Controversial concepts Some of these practices are actually not new. ...
Rice residues are important natural resources, the management of these residues is a major challenge for environment protection. The use of different techniques to produce silica with minimal mineral contaminants having high Specific Surface Area (SSA) has been investigated. The different methods used depended on treatment of rice hulls with different dilute organic acids and hydrochloric acid, ...
The long-term goal of this research is to develop the infra-technologies to reclaim effluents from wastewater treatment plants and reuse them for agricultural water demands. The objectives of this were: 1) to study the effects of various wastewater treatment levels on crop growth and yields; 2) to determine the pollution loads from wastewater ...
Mali is facing a huge challenge. Promotion of food security is of top priority for which a further expansion of Office du Niger is one of the most promising options. This implies land development and additional water extraction from the Niger. At the same time water is needed for the booming energy demand. Water, however, is limitedly available and crucial to other sectors of the environment, not ...
Rice farmers in Spain experience two major problems with their rice crops: After the flooding and fertilisation of the rice fields algal growth rapidly develops and covers the surface of the water in the paddy. This greatly reduces the availability of sunlight received by the seedlings until they have grown above the water level. This results in early stage plant loss which can be severe. The ...
