The effect of different irrigation technologies on changes in soil bulk density in rice cultivation

Abstract

The article examines the effect of different irrigation technologies on soil bulk density under rice cultivation. The study compared traditional flooding irrigation with drip irrigation using 80, 60, and 40 cm spacing between drip lines. Changes in soil bulk density during the growing season and its distribution across soil layers were analyzed. Based on the results, the effect of irrigation technologies on the agrophysical condition of the soil was assessed.
