Comparison of methane emission from conventional and modified paddy cultivation in Malaysia

Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas (Global Warming Potential = 25). Flooded rice fields are main sources for methane. Finding solutions to suppress the methane emission seems necessary toward a sustainable rice production. This study's aim is to assess the methane emission from some modif...
