To increase cropping intensity, upland crops often are planted after lowland rice. However, lowland rice and upland crops have different soil physical requirements. Puddling to decrease soil permeability is essential for lowland rice culture, but adversely affects upland crops following rice. This article discusses the conflicting requirements of lowland rice and upland crops, changes in soil physical environment caused by puddling as affected by soil physical characteristics, effects of those changes on rice and upland crops, and ways to limit the adverse effects of puddling
