Aerobic rice
Aerobic rice is a production system in which rice is grown under non-flooded, non-puddled, and non-saturated soil conditions. Because aerobic rice needs less water at the field level than conventional lowland rice, the system is targeted at relatively water-short irrigated or rain-fed lowland environments. Irrigation can be applied through flash-flooding,...
