Tóm tắt

Direct-seeded rice is a promising option because it saves water and labor, and it increases productivity. Nonetheless, few studies have evaluated the transition from traditionally transplanted rice to direct-seeded rice. Here we compared yield, water productivity, and greenhouse gas emissions of dry direct-seeded rice, wet direct-seeded rice, and transplanted rice in Central China in 2014 and 2015. We grew four rice cultivars: Huanghuazhan, LvdaoQ7, Yangliangyou6, and Yliangyou1. We measured grain yield, yield components, water consumption, water productivity, and greenhouse gas emissions. Our results show that the grain yield of wet direct-seeded rice was 10.8 % higher than that of transplanted rice, when averaged across cultivars and both years. Grain yield of dry direct-seeded rice and transplanted rice was similar. Water productivity of dry direct-seeded rice was 11.6 % higher than that of transplanted rice. Water productivity of wet direct-seeded rice was 13.4 % higher than that of transplanted rice. Global warming potential was 76.2 % lower for dry direct-seeded rice and 60.4 % lower for wet direct-seeded rice than for transplanted rice. Wet direct-seeded rice was found to be more susceptible to lodging than dry direct-seeded rice and transplanted rice. Overall, wet direct-seeded rice is the best system for Central China due to higher grain yield and water productivity and lower global warming potential. Dry direct-seeded rice may also be suitable for some regions where water is scarce for soil puddling during land preparation.
