Here are six informative YouTube videos showcasing aerobic rice irrigation technologies and techniques. Each video includes a brief description to provide insight into successfully growing high yielding aerobic rice crops. In commercial situations aerobic rice yields have achieved up to 14 t/ha yields following these principles in irrigation management.

Beds in bays for irrigated Aerobic Rice

So far aerobic rice has been grown on both ‘flat’ bays and ‘beds in bays’ within a bankless channel irrigation layout. The ‘beds in bays’, while requiring an additional step in land preparation offer significant benefits which are discussed in the video.

Raised beds in bays for irrigated Aerobic Rice production

See how ‘beds in bays’ field layouts can help with irrigation water management and also reduce risk by extending irrigation intervals.

Irrigation Decisions for Growing Aerobic Rice – Sowing to Flowering

See how you can visually evaluate the soil moisture.

Irrigation decisions for growing aerobic rice – flowering and grain fill

Irrigation decisions for growing aerobic rice from flowering to grain fill are particularly important to get right to ensure the crop isn’t stressed. This video outlines practical ways to maximize success.

Irrigated Aerobic Rice at Grain Fill

A look at a high yielding aerobic rice crop at grain filling stage in Widgelli, NSW, Australia.

Weeds in irrigated Aerobic Rice

Aerobic rice and weed management. A quick look at differences between aerobic rice and traditional ponded irrigated rice in relation to weeds at one of our demonstration sites. We have been able to grow aerobic rice ‘back to back’ successfully for three years without much difference in weed load compared to traditional ponded rice.
