Water productivity, irrigation management, and sytematization for rice farming systems in cental region of Uruguay. [Resumen de poster].

A high proportion of rice farming irrigation in the Central Region of Uruguay is done with water stored in dams. Maximizing water productivity is important as savings in water inputs would reduce pumping irrigation costs, increase rice area planted and allows to allocate water to irrigate other crops in a rotation. The aim of the experiment is to determine irrigation management practices and systematization techniques that increase Water Productivity. This paper includes results of the joint analysis of three seasons (2012-2013-2014).
