The document provides supplemental guidance for water management in rice paddy fields to reduce methane emissions and optimize rice growth and yield.
This document provides an overview of the guidelines for measuring methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice paddy fields, including information on chamber design, gas sampling, laboratory gas analysis, and the calculation of seasonal emissions and emission factors.
The document is about a proposed methodology for reducing methane emissions in rice paddy fields through water management.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB), in collaboration with the Government of Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF), established the Expert Committee (EC), together with ASEAN participating countries such as the Philippines and Viet Nam and well-established research institutes. This initiative aimed to share Japan’s knowledge and experiences in paddy field management to increase food production while reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agriculture sector of the ASEAN region, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices and climate change mitigation.
