Management Practices to Reduce Crop Production and Nitrogen Losses from Waterlogging

Abstract

Flooding is the most damaging abiotic stress, besides drought, that affects crop production. Waterlogging also promotes soil nitrogen (N) loss through processes such as denitrification, nitrate leaching, and runoff as well as reduces soil N mineralization rates. This article provides potential management strategies to reduce crop production and nitrogen losses from waterlogging.
