Abstract:
      To clarify the effects of the Chinese milk vetch(Astragalus sinicus L., CMV)returning model on methane(CH4)emissions from paddy fields and to optimize water management by increasing the drainage period to reduce CH4 emissions, a five-year in-situ field experiment was carried out from 2016 to 2020. Four treatments were designed, including non-fertilization + traditional water management (draining and drying the field at the late tillering stage for seven days,CK), conventional chemical fertilizer + traditional water management (CF), CMV + reduced nitrogen fertilizer + traditional water management(MF), and CMV + reduced nitrogen fertilizer + optimized water management(advancing and increasing five days on the basis of traditional water management, MFW). The results showed that the CH4 emissions under MF treatment ranged from 542 kg·hm-2·a-1 to 658 kg·hm-2·a-1 during the rice-growing season in the five years, and the average emissions increased by 156%~231% and 133%~196% compared with those under CK and CF treatments, respectively. Compared to those under the MF treatment, the first peak of CH4 emission(tillering stage)decayed earlier(2016, 2017, and 2019)or faster(2018 and 2020), and the annual emission significantly decreased by 16.2%~28.5%(P<0.05). Compared to those under the CF treatment, the yield from 2018 to 2020 significantly increased by 6.85%, 10.25%, and 9.79% under the MF treatment(P<0.05). The variation coefficient of yield under the MF treatment decreased, and the sustainability index increased. There was no significant difference between the yields of the MF and MFW treatments. The above results indicated that CMV return had positive effect on increasing and stabilizing rice yield, but it also increased CH4 emissions. Optimized water management could effectively decrease CH4 emissions caused by the return of CMV and simultaneously maintain the yield.
