Integrated rice-duck farming system (IRDFS) is one of the main practices in traditional Chinese agriculture. IRDFS as shown great effects on rice growth, insect, disease and weed control and paddy biodiversity and environment. However, there is no direct field evidence concerning the impact of IRDFS on rice grain quality. In...

The effects of integrated rice-duck farming technology on rice roots were studied. The results showed that the growth quality of rice roots was markedly improved in the integrated rice-duck farming ecosystem because of the mechanical stimulation due to duck activities. Compared with the conventional rice farming, the root activity, the...

To study the spatial distribution patterns and ecological niches of Nilaparvata lugens and its main predatory natural enemies, three treatments including chemical fertilization, rice-duck farming, and no chemical pesticides/fertilizer application (control) were set. Theridiidae, Clubionidae and Salticidae showed the highest niche width under chemical fertilization, rice-duck farming and control, respectively,...
