Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect AWD reduced annual GHG emissions by 48.2% in rice cultivation in Thailand.
- Intervention effect Biochar reduced annual GHG emissions by 8.01% in rice cultivation in Thailand.
- Intervention effect Deeper AWD drying levels showed greater GHG mitigation potential than shallow levels.
- Intervention effect The combination of AWD and biochar gave no statistically significant additional GHG mitigation over their separate potentials.
- Intervention effect The adoption of AWD and biochar maintained the amount of rice yield compared with traditional practice.
- Intervention effect All levels of AWD saved irrigation water consumption by an average of 16.8% per season.
- Intervention effect AWD at 10 cm below the soil surface showed the highest water-saving potential.
- Intervention effect Biochar improved soil pH and organic carbon sequestration after two seasons.
- Intervention effect The combination of AWD and biochar did not additionally increase water saving of AWD or soil improvement of biochar.
- Intervention effect The AWD water regime did not increase net profits.
- Recommendation Using AWD is a feasible way to mitigate GHG emissions and save water without reducing rice productivity or net profits in northeastern Thailand.
