Continuously flooded rice systems are a major contributor to the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the agriculture sector in Malaysia. Intermittent irrigation has been recommended to replace conventional rice water management to save water and reduce GHG emissions without compromising rice yields. This study was conducted in two growing seasons at Malaysia’s largest rice granary area to determine the effectiveness of different water management practices on conserving water, mitigating GHG and maintaining rice grain yields. Three water management treatments were continuous flooding (CF), saturated and wet conditions from transplanting to heading and flooding until maturity (S-F) and continuous saturated and wet conditions (CS). The results showed that S-F and CS reduced water inputs between 15.0-16.8% and 32.0-34.0% as compared to CF, respectively. Water-saving treatments mostly did not significantly affect the plant's physiological performance, plant growth parameters, growth rate, grain yield and yield parameters. The results indicated that soil saturated and wet conditions provided adequate soil moisture content for the plant’s requirement similar to flooding conditions. Maintaining soil at saturated and wet conditions during the vegetative stage reduced 24.18-39.76% of methane emissions. However, maintaining soil at saturated and wet conditions throughout the growing season reduced 34.52-55.08% of methane emissions. In conclusion, intermittent irrigation could be an effective adaptation technique for simultaneously saving water and mitigating GHG while maintaining high rice grain yields in rice cultivation systems.

Rapid human population increase, food scarcity, and climate change are some of the global challenges in the current scenario. Among these, climate change adversely impacts crop production by creating abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and metal toxicity. Seed emergence, the critical stage in crop development, is highly vulnerable to these abiotic stresses. Therefore, short-term approaches to increase seed germination and the initial growth of plants were investigated in advance as a solution. Seed priming is indeed a pre-sowing treatment of seeds. It is a technique used to enhance the germination and early growth of seeds by exposing them to controlled hydration and sometimes other treatments before planting. Seed priming considered a low-cost, eco-friendly, and sustainable technique to promote seed germination and the initial growth of plants. Though various priming methods are available, this review discusses only botanical extracts (both seaweed and plant extracts) used as priming agents in seed priming. Among the seaweed extracts, green and brown algae species such as Ascophyllum nodosum, Sargassum spp., and Ulva spp. enhanced the crop performances even under stress conditions. In addition, leaf extracts derived from drumstick (Moringa oleifera) and neem (Azadirachta indica) are widely used to increase the crop production under stress and non-stress environments. Furthermore, in this review discussed about priming mechanism, different extraction methods and bioextracts behavior under diverse agroecosystems are discussed in detail.

A field experiment designed as a split-plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted during two summer successive seasons 2021 and 2022 at the Experimental Farm of EL-Quassasin Horticultural Research Station, Ismailia Governorate; Egypt, to investigate the influence of biochar at rates of 0, 2, 4, and 6 tons/fed. at three irrigation levels (1, 1.5, and 2 hours/day) using a drip irrigation system on the growth, essential oil (productivity and constituents), as well as some chemical constituents of marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) plant grown in sandy soil. The obtained results revealed that both irrigation and biochar levels affected all the above-mentioned traits. It was clear that plant growth parameters increased as long as increasing irrigation levels and biochar rate. Considering the interaction, it was clear that generally the highest values in vegetative growth (plant height, number of branches, and herb fresh & dry weights/ plant), essential oil yield/plant, N%, and K% were attained from the treatment of irrigation at 1.5 hours/day combined with biochar at the rate of 6ton/fed. On the other hand, the highest values of essential oil%, essential oil components (p-cymene, trans-Sabinene hydrate, α-terpineol), as well as proline, were recorded in stressed plants (received 1h/ day irrigation and 0 biochar). The existing outcomes show that biochar application might increase water use efficiency and produce a high yield of marjoram. Subsequently, it could be a viable option to alleviate the severity effect of water deficit in marjoram growth, which opens opportunities for cultivating arid regions.
