RYNAN - Model AWD+ - Rice Cultivation Methane Mitigation
Rice cultivation contributes a significant amount of greenhouse gases, particularly methane. Flooded rice fields are a major source of methane emissions globally. When organic matter in rice paddies decomposes underwater, microbes produce methane as a byproduct. This methane escapes into the atmosphere and contributes to the growing effects of global warming. It is estimated that around 10% of global methane emissions and 1.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions come from rice cultivation.
Traditionally, Alternate Wetting & Drying relies on farmers manually monitoring water levels through tools like perforated tubes. Our AWD+ allow for more precise water management in rice cultivation reducing the production of methane.
Our Solution
Benefits of using an AWD for rice cultivation
-
Reduced Water Usage
Save precious water resources with precise irrigation based on actual field needs. -
Reduced Methane Emissions: AWD can significantly reduce methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to a healthier environment.
-
Enhanced Soil Structure: By alternating between wet and dry conditions, AWD can improve soil structure and promote better aeration.
-
Increased Yields
Optimize water use to promote healthy root growth and potentially improve rice yields. -
Improved Efficiency
Save time and effort with automated monitoring and personalized irrigation recommendations.
