Around 21 percent of the total GHG emissions in Bangladesh occur in rice fields.“Various altered crop management strategies have been suggested, ranging from the selection of potentiality low-emitting rice cultivars to proper post-harvest management, but AWD is still the most promising option,” IFDC is researching methods to mitigate GHG emissions that result from lowland rice farming in Bangladesh. Rice farms account for 85 percent of Bangladesh's agricultural land and emit carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide greenhouse gases. Moreover, inefficient fertiliser use in rice cultivation increases nitrous oxide and nitric oxide emissions. Yam Kanta Gaihre, deputy chief of the Accelerating Agriculture Productivity Improvement at IFDC, presented a paper on “Assessing the impacts of urea deep placement (UDP) on GHG emissions and mitigation potential under continuous rice cropping system”. UDP is a rising popular technology that can drastically cut nitrogen losses up to 35 percent and increases rice yield up to 20 percent, he said...Based on one news published on August 27, 2014 / LAST MODIFIED: 01:53 AM, March 08, 2015

Thank you. I already have those information.
I need peer reviewed journal article from Bangladesh rice fields.
