Abstract

Future rice production problems are related to global warming and water scarcity due to climate change. For efficient and sustainable rice production, flood irrigation management and high nitrogen applications must be modified. Among the main recommendations include the incorporation of nitrogen fertilizer at critical stages of the crop, and the use of direct seeding in dry soil instead of the transplanting method. This manuscript brings together recommendations for improving agronomic efficiency and nitrogen use in rice cultivation.  These technical recommendations should be implemented in order to improve crop productivity and strengthen food security.
