Relationship of nitrogen and crop performance in aerobic rice and continuous flooding irrigation in weathered tropical lowland

Aerobic rice is a promising rice production system which enables rice to grow in water-constrained environments and provides an alternative to continuous flooding irrigation. Although significant water savings are reported in aerobic systems in different lowland regions, a negative impact in crop performance prevents its wide deployment. The main reasons for grain yield decreases are given to be genotype and inappropriate water supply. However,...
