To do so, methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and grain yields from rice fields were explored, under different farmer fertilizer application methods and two different crop... establishment options currently practiced by local farmers, namely transplanted rice (TPR) and wet bed direct seeded rice (WDSR). Both were measured in field experiments. In this study, it was found that rice cultivation emitted CH4 and N2O at the rate of 3.23±0

    Evaluation of erosion productivity impact calculator (EPIC) model for nitrogen losses in rice paddy of Thailand
    (2014-01-01) Noppol Arunrat; Nathsuda Pumijumnong; Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University; Tsinghua University
    Rice fields are commonly characterized by flooding conditions and high percolation rate. Nitrogen (N) is the most important nutrient for rice yield and is required in large quantities. In this article, the Erosion Productivity Impact Calculator... (EPIC) 0509 version was used and was run using i-EPIC (interactive EPIC) interface, to validate this version and evaluate N losses in mineral rice soils. The results indicated that N losses of rice soil in terms of N loss in sediment, nitrate (N03) loss
