METHANE EMISSION IN PADDY SOIL ECOSYSTEM UNDER DIFFERENT IRRIGATION REGIMES

Abstract

The experimers on the effect of irrigation on methane emission in paddy soil ecosystem during kharif and rabi season of 1995-1996 revealed that mid season aeration recorded minimum methane flux value (0.69 mg m h). Similarly, intermittent irrigation reduced CH, flux (9.2 mg in h') than the normal irrigation (25.3 mg mh) in both khur and rabi season.

Keywords: Paddy ecosystem, Irrigation regimes, Methane emission
