  2. Our mission statement is to increase rice production and yield employment for the Philippines, and to decrease methane emissions globally.

  3. Proposed Service and Description Draining and Fertilizer in the Philippines

  4. Our Company’s Service • Purpose: To Decrease Methane Emission and Increase Rice Yield • Problem: • Need: • Solution: Mid-Season Drainage System and Provide Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer http://www.marcusleadley.com/recipes/rice.html

  5. Benefits and Disadvantages Mid-Season Drainage System: • Allow for shallow flooding • Drain water for 7 days to stress the soil Benefits: • Lower Methane Emission • Water Conservation • Higher Rice Yield Disadvantage: • Production of Nitrous Oxide http://www.yesicanusechopsticks.com/thesequel/rice/

  6. Purpose of Fertilizer Purpose of Ammonium Sulfate Fertilizer: • To decrease nitrous oxide emission • To decrease methane • To increase rice productivity http://blog.vegenag.com/2009/03/fertilizer-basics/

  18. Limitations Water and Money

  19. Water • Evapotranspiration, seepage, preparation,and percolation • Advantage: less water needed, less methane is produced( temp, rice), less water pollution then traditional methods • Disadvantages: weeding required, higher quality water is needed, increases the susceptibility of certain diseases for certain types of rice http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3057/ http://www.plantcell.org/content/19/8.cover-expansion

  20. Money • Advantages: less gas for water pumps, less water needed, able to utilize some of the remaining structure • Disadvantages: more water management equipment is needed, more land to produce equal rice http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/uccerice/ rice_production/planting_water_mgmt.htm http://www.flickr.com/photos/gnarlyleech/4516824222/

  21. Overcoming Problems • Government support for environmental betterment • Genetic modification of rice • More productive, more drought resistant, disease defiant • These modifications could eliminate the majority of limitations • Superior fertilizers • Fertilizers that are better adapted to this form of farming
