Abstract

Intense current attention is focused on identifying factors which influence the extent of the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from paddy cultivation. Whereas it is now well established that the quantity of organic matter present in the soil coupled with favourable soil moisture and anoxic conditions are the principal drivers of methane emissions from paddy fields, the role of rice cultivars is much less documented or understood. Considering that even though modifications in the agricultural practices, including water management, can reduce methane generation in paddy fields, the effect of such initiatives can be reduced if the cultivar is such that it quickly and maximally transports methane to the atmosphere. Hence the physiology of the cultivar which influences the cultivar’s tendency to emit methane is of great importance. This paper summarizes the available knowledge on this subject.
