Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Sprinkler irrigation applied more water than estimated flooded-rice evapotranspiration.
- Intervention effect Sprinkler irrigation reduced plant height by 0.09 to 0.28 m compared with flooding.
- Association Heading time varied with cultivar and irrigation treatment.
- Intervention effect Irrigation treatment did not affect harvest timing.
- Intervention effect Treatment 100 sprinkler irrigation reduced average yield by more than 20% compared with flooding.
- Intervention effect Key cultivar yields were reduced by 28% under sprinkler irrigation.
- Mechanism Yield loss under Treatment 100 was attributed to fewer florets and fertile florets per panicle.
- Recommendation The authors conclude sprinkler irrigation is not viable in traditional rice-growing areas with yield losses over 20%.
