- W2268505514 abstract "To enhance productivity, alleviate environmental and management constraints, and enhance farmers’ incomes in the rice–wheat cropping system of the Indo Gangetic Plains, new approaches that are labour-saving, more productive and sustainable need to be developed. Most systems of rice cultivation use puddling to prepare the seedbed and control weeds in rice fields of rainfed, stress-prone environments. This practice might be helpful to reduce weed pressure and obtain slightly higher productivity, but might have negative impacts on soil physical properties. A better understanding is needed of the comparative advantage of unpuddled rice fields for maintaining good soil physical properties. To study the effect of different rice establishment methods on soil physical properties in a rice–wheat cropping system, we analysed soil samples in 2 years (2012–13 and 2013–14) from an experiment testing puddled and unpuddled rice-establishment methods. The treatments were: (i) puddled, transplanted with best management practices; (ii) puddled, transplanted with the system of rice intensification; (iii) unpuddled, transplanted; and (iv) unpuddled, direct-seeded. Omission of puddling improved soil physical properties such as bulk density, penetration resistance, aggregation stability and cracking behaviour. The absence of soil disturbance also improved soil aggregation, average mean-weight diameter and water-stable aggregates. Thus, unpuddled conditions increased the macro-aggregate fraction by 18–33%. By contrast, the higher frequency of smaller macro-aggregates (0.053–0.25 mm diameter) in puddled conditions clearly indicated the breakdown of larger macro-aggregates (>0.25 mm) into smaller size fractions. Puddled treatments were also characterised by a hard pan and wider, longer and deeper cracks, with a crack volume more than three times higher in puddled conditions. Unpuddled treatments recorded slightly higher nutrient contents in the topsoil. The study reveals that puddling deteriorates soil health. However, a long-term study is required for a better understanding of the soil changes related to different rice establishment technologies." @default.
