Implication

Randomized trial assesses AWD irrigation's impact on yield and water use in ratoon rice, indicating adaptability needed under climate stress.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the impact of alternate wetting and drying irrigation on ratoon rice under different weather conditions over three years.
3-year field experiment (2020–2022) on ratoon rice
Tested four irrigation methods: CK, T1, T2, T3
Collected weather data to correlate climatic variations with crop performance.
In 2020 and 2021, T1 and T3 increased main-season yield by 12.81% and 11.66%, respectively.
In 2022, T1 and T3 reduced main-season yield by 12.04% and 12.60%.
AWD irrigation enhanced WUE under normal conditions but reduced it under extreme heat.
