Article Synopsis
  • - Rice is a crucial food source for over half the global population, especially in developing countries where it plays a significant role in daily nutrition.
  • - Wood vinegar, a natural growth promoter derived from biomass pyrolysis, enhances rice growth, photosynthesis, and stress tolerance, although its best application timing is still not well understood.
  • - The study found that applying wood vinegar during specific growth stages (tillering, jointing, and flowering) significantly increased rice yield by up to 32.4%, improved quality by reducing grain chalkiness, and ultimately supports more sustainable agricultural practices.

With hybrid rice cultivar Liangyou Peijiu as test material, this paper studied its biological characteristics and water use efficiency under effects of four irrigation modes. Compared with continuous flooding irrigation, intermittent irrigation increased the leaf area index, photosynthetic rate and water use efficiency, and decreased the leaf transpiration rate. Semi-dry cultivation increased the leaf water use efficiency, while dry cultivation decreased the leaf area index, photosynthetic rate, and water use efficiency, and induced the leaf senescence in later growth period.

The compensation for spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) under simulated herbivory stress by clipping was examined in a semi-arid region of Gansu province in 1996. The results showed that clipping at seedling stage reduced spring wheat growth under two irrigation conditions. The yield of spring wheat generally under-compensated the clipping effect.
