“…Rice growth was deferred greatly in the non-flooded plots. In our previous study, we also found that in non-flooded condition, rice growth time was longer than in the flooded plots (Qin et al 2006). In non-flooded condition, rice growth was deferred during the tillering and heading stages.…”

“…Previous work showed that non-flooded rice cultivation reduced water consumption by almost 50-70% compared with the continuously flooded system (Huang et al 2003, Qin et al 2006. However, there were only limited reports on mechanisms involved in water use efficiency and water stress physiology in particular in nonflooded rice cultivation with mulching (Liang et al 2003).…”

“…In Philippines, rapid yield decline under continuous upland rice cropping was documented (Peng et al 2006). The disadvantages arising from this can be overcome to a certain extent by an alternative way of growing lowland rice using rice straw mulch under nonflooded conditions (Huang et al 2003, Qin et al 2006. Crop residue mulch has the potential to retain soil moisture (Enrique et al 2002) and maintain the non-flooded rice production (Huang et al 2003, Qin et al 2006.…”

A field experiment was performed to investigate the growth performance and the growth stage-dependent changes in activities of antioxidative enzymes and concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in leaves of rice subjected to treatment with (NF-M) or without straw mulching (NF-WM) under non-flooded conditions compared with continuously flooded treatment (CF). Compared with the NF-WM treatment, mulch application significantly increased the flag leaf area per plant before heading, tillers number and plant height at the early period of tillering stage. There was no significant difference between the yield of the NF-WM and CF treatment. However, the yield of NF-WM treatment was significantly lower than CF and NF-M treatments. Significantly higher activities of peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) but lower concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were observed in straw mulching treatment than in treatment without mulching at elongation, heading and grain filling stages. The change tendency of antioxidant enzyme activity and MDA level was in line both with soil moisture status and rice yields of different treatments.

Appropriate irrigation methods and N management can effectively increase the yield and N efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.). A soil‐grown experiment was conducted in 2018 and 2019 using Liangeng 7 with different N forms (NH3–N, NH4+ and NO3− mixed 50:50 [50:50], and NO3–N), as well as three irrigation regimes (submerged irrigation [0 kPa], alternate wetting and moderate drying [−20 kPa], and alternate wetting and severe drying [−40 kPa]). Results showed that yield and N agronomic efficiency were maximized at the alternative wetting and moderate dying treatment with NH4NO3 mixed among all treatments. Nitrogen forms in different irrigation regimes had different effects on root characteristic and leaf photosynthesis rate. In submerged irrigation, NH3–N treatment improved root morphology, increased the activities of NH3 assimilation enzymes in roots, and promoted root oxidation and leaf photosynthesis rate at different growth stages compared with other N forms. By contrast, moderate drying interacted with 50:50 and significantly enhanced root length, average root diameter, root volume, root tips, and root oxidation activity and promoted C and N metabolism in root and photosynthesis rate of leaves compared with other N forms under alternate wetting and drying irrigation. Multiple regression analysis showed that root length, the glutamate synthase (GOGAT) activity of roots, and the photosynthetic rate of leaves closely related with high rice yield and efficient N utilization. All these results suggested that improved root morphology and physiology activity, enhanced C and N metabolism, and increased leaf photosynthesis rate through the appropriate regulation of irrigation‐regime interaction with N forms can help to increase the grain yield and N agronomic efficiency of rice.

The conflict between rice production and water scarcity is becoming more pronounced. Therefore, the advancement of water‐saving rice cultivation is crucial in guaranteeing both food and ecological security. This study provides a summary of the development and characteristics of various water‐saving cultivation techniques for rice, including alternate wetting and drying irrigation, wet irrigation, controlled irrigation, the system of rice intensification, direct seeding rice, and dry cultivation of rice (DCR). We also introduce the varietal characteristics of upland rice, aerobic rice, water‐saving and drought‐resistant rice, and DCR. We summarize the impact of different water‐saving cultivation models on yield and quality and regulatory measures, and propose challenges and strategies for the development of water‐saving cultivation of rice in the future. We hope to provide a reference for promoting the development of rice water‐saving cultivation and dry farming agriculture.
