Rice plants need not "wallow" in waterlogged condition, as is traditionally practiced.


"Rice paddies in water for a long time is wasteful," said Jovino de Dios, head of the PhilRice Agronony, Soils, and Plant Physiology division.


Instead, he recommends to farmers the use of controlled irrigation (CI) or alternate wetting and drying to optimize the use of irrigation water. The CI technology was developed by PhilRice, IRRI, and the DA-National Irrigation Administration (NIA) during four years (2001-2004) of research.
