We investigated the behavior of isoprothiolane and fipronil after nursery-box application and that of isoprothiolane after submerged application in an experimental paddy field. The concentrations of the pesticides and their metabolites were monitored in paddy water, soil, and rice plants. The distribution profile for isoprothiolane mass in the field differed greatly between the nursery-box and submerged applications. The nursery-box-applied pesticides were mostly distributed in soil near the transplanted rice seedlings (root zone), little distribution in paddy water and rice plants (<1.1 and <0.3% of the applied mass, respectively). The residual levels in rice plants were similar to those in the root-zone soil. To estimate the soil pesticide mass, we defined a key parameter: the ratio of the root-zone area to the total area of the paddy field estimated to be 0.1 to 0.15. This parameter is important when evaluating the concentrations of nursery-box-applied pesticides in soil and rice plants.

Recent advancements in Earth Observation sensors, improved accessibility to imagery and the development of corresponding processing tools have significantly empowered researchers to extract insights from Multisource Remote Sensing. This study aims to use these technologies for mapping summer and winter Land Use/Land Cover features in Cuenca de la Laguna Merín, Uruguay, while comparing the performance of Random Forests, Support Vector Machines, and Gradient-Boosting Tree classifiers. The materials include Sentinel-2, Sentinel-1 and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission imagery, Google Earth Engine, training and validation datasets and quoted classifiers.

As global food security issues become increasingly severe, an important innovation in agricultural production patterns, namely integrated rice-fish farming, has been widely implemented around the world, especially in Asia. To assess the impact of integrated rice-crayfish () farming (IRCF) on agricultural ecosystems, we used Illumina high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze differences in diversity, composition, co-occurrence network, and assembly process of planktonic bacterial communities in paddy water between traditional rice farming (TRM) and IRCF. Environmental factors and planktonic bacterial communities were evaluated during the tillering, jointing, flowering, and grain-filling stages on August 24, September 5, September 24, and October 16, respectively.

Paddy fields are a major anthropogenic source of global methane (CH) emissions, a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). This study aimed at gaining insights of different organic and inorganic conductive materials (CMs) - biochar, fungal melanin, and magnetite - to mitigate CH emissions, and on their influence on key microbial populations, mimicking the postharvest season throughout the degradation of rice straw in microcosms under anaerobic conditions encompassing postharvest paddy rice soils from the Ebro Delta, Spain. Results showed that fungal melanin was the most effective CM, significantly reducing CH emissions by 29 %, while biochar amendment also reduced emissions by 10 %.

Article Synopsis
- The Qingtian paddy field carp has been domesticated for over 1200 years and has adapted to shallow-water conditions in paddy fields.
- Research involved transcriptome sequencing of the carp's hepatopancreas at different temperatures, revealing 3154 differentially expressed genes linked to various metabolic pathways.
- The study highlights the role of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and the HIF-1 signaling pathway in helping PF-carp maintain cell stability under high temperature and hypoxic conditions.
