Although rice canopy structure is a critical factor that influences rice yield and quality, few research has been conducted on the effects of rice-duck farming on rice canopy structure. Canopy structure characteristics at tillering and full-heading stages of late rice were compared between rice-duck farming and conventional rice farming (control)...

Integrated rice-duck farming system, developed from “raising ducks in paddy fields”, as one of China’s traditional agriculture was encouraged for safe production of rice in China, Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia. To study the effects of ducks on the growth characteristics of rice, a mechanical stimulation experiment was...

A field experiment was conducted to study effects of different rice-based cropping systems on diseases, pests and weed (DPW) hazards and yield of rice. The experiment included four treatments: conventional rice farming system (CR) as control, conventional Oenanthe javanica farming system (CO), conventional intercropping of rice with Oenanthe javanica (CRO)...

A significant progress had been made in the theory and practice of rice-duck farming in China in recent decades. Attained theoretic achievements include effects of rice-duck farming on: 1) nutrient cycle, matter and energy flow characteristics in paddy fields; 2) pest and disease control and the dynamic relationship between pests...

Rice-duck farming is an organic farming system for the maintenance of soil fertility with duck manure. Such system helps reduce the pollutants induced by chemical fertilizers and pesticides use. Nevertheless, the productivity of such organic farming system is frequently limited due to the lack of sufficient chemical fertilizers. In order...

A considerable amount of evidence has shown that intercropping enhances biodiversity, which in turn suppresses pests and diseases. However, few works have been done on exploring the possibility of intercropping rice with other crops in wetlands to reduce pest/insect damage via diversified agro-ecosystem. In this study, a field experiment was...
