The environmental impact of three N fertilization levels (30, 60, and 90kgha -1 ) plus a non-N control (0kgha -1 ) in growing three rice cultivars (cv. Hashemi, cv. Alikazemi, and cv. Khazar) were assessed for 2years in northern Iran, with the methodology of the life cycle ...
Rice productionOrganic farmingConventional farmingSustainabilityThis study aims to assess the environmental impacts of conventional and organic rice cultivations and proposes a sustainable conceptual framework of rice farming based on the life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. A cradle-to-gate LCA was ...
To avoid the negative impacts and reduce the environmental footprint of rice production, a range of rice straw management options are currently being developed and in some cases adopted in various Asian countries. Rice straw management and use vary. For example, in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam a...
Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population. Rice production needs a huge amount of chemical fertilizer application, especially urea, which is one of the causes of global warming and groundwater pollution. Nitrous oxide emission and nitrate leaching can be reduced only...
Controlled-release urea (CRU) and its placement method in rice production were investigated during 2007 and 2008 seasons. Controlled-release urea was applied at 62.5, 125, and 187.5kg nitrogen (N) ha1, and the urea was 187.5kg N ha1. All the CRU treatments were applied to the nursery bed...

Evaluation of the environmental performance of rice husk ash and tire rubber residues incorporated in concrete slabs This study analyses the potential environmental impacts of the use of tire rubber residue (TRR) and rice husk ash (RHA) for the production of concrete slab... DOA Sampaio,MM Tash...
However, it becomes more important to study the sustainability of bio-ethanol production from rice straw and how it can make sense in todays Indian agricultural scenario. Although, the bioethanol obtained from rice straw is a carbon neutral in nature, but the concerns of environmental impacts ...
This study aims to explore the potential of crop-livestock integration to mitigate trade-offs between economic and environmental impacts of transitioning smallholder farming systems across the Greater Mekong Subregion. More specifically, we i) analyze economic and environmental performance and trade-offs ...
applications of biogas digestates and their impacts on the environment and human health are still unexplored. Recent articles report the agricultural potential and conflicting results of digestate performances. As a consequence, the effectiveness of digestate as organic amendment and fertilizer is still un...
