Physical aspects of soil management for rice-based cropping systems
1985
Greenland, D.J.
Food production from the tropical wetlands of Asia and the world must be increased. There are physical problems of wetland soil and water management that restrict rice production. Drainage and soil strength determine appropriate soil management, and structural alterations caused by puddling and redrying affect rice and upland crops grown after rice. The hydrology of ricelands should be studied and related to soil characteristics. More trained physicists are needed to tackle these tasks, and ways must be found to facilitate greater collaboration among the few physicists and agronomists conducting research on physical aspects of wetland soil management
