Diel and seasonal variations of CH4 flux from a paddy field were measured at Bang Khen Rice Experimental Station in Thailand. Diel measurement at the heading stage of rice plants showed that the daily average flux, amounting to 24.2 mg m· hr·1, was equivalent to the flux measured in the late morning. The average values of seasonal variations of CH4 fluxes in 1992 major rice, 1993 second rice and 1994 second rice were 21. 7, 4.3, and 6. 7 mg m· h·1, respectively*. The seasonal measurements in the second rice showed a relatively low CH4 emission, due to the very shallow water depth because of the limitation of the amount of irrigation water in the dry season. The results suggest that water supply is an important factor the evaluation of the global emission rates of CH4 from rice paddy fields.

To estimate The diel variations of the CH4 flux were accurately the CH4 flux in Thailand, NIAES-DOA measured at the heading stage during the period collaborative research program was initiated in November 2-3 1993. Measurements were 1991. Yagi et al. ) reported CH4 flux from rice performed at 7:00, 9:00, 11:00, 13:00, 15:00, 17:00, paddy fields in the central plain of Thailand ; 19:00, 21:00 and 23:00 h. Suphan Buri, Khlong Luang and Chai Nat. The low emission of CH4 from the Khlong Luang and Chai Nat fields was attributed to the high concentration of sulfate in soil or high soil Eh due to the lower reducing capacity in relation to the oxidizing capacity of soil. They estimated the seasonal emission rates by multiplying the averaged flux in duplicate both in the morning and in the afternoon. In most of the other studies the CH4 emission rates were calculated using the data measured during daytime, without considering the pronounced diel variation of the flux. However, daily average values of CH4 flux should be used to estimate the seasonal emission rates of CH4, in considering the diel pattern of the flux. Subsequently, JIRCAS-DOA collaborative research was initiated in 1993. In this paper attempts were made to evaluate the effect of the water regime and soil temperature on the methane emission rates from a paddy field in Bang Khen, Thailand. Materials and Methods 1) Experimental site Field measurements were performed at the Bang Khen Rice Experimental Station in the central plain of Thailand in 1992 (major rice) and 1993-1994 (second rice). This site is located in the lower reaches of the Chao Phraya River and the soil was formed from recent brackish alluvium. Soil properties were shown in Table 1. Methods of analysis of these properties were described in a previous paperl. Paddy field was irrigated prior to the transplanting of rice plants and surface water was maintained at depth ranging between O and 20 3) Seasonal variation of CH4 flux After the harvest of the previous crop, the roots and approximately half of the above groundbiomass of rice plants were incorporated into the paddy field. Chemical fertilizer at the rate of 37.537.5-37.5 kg N-P20 5-K20 ha-1 was applied as basal fertilizer and 37.5 kg N ha· of urea was top dressed. Rice plants (Oryza sativa), J aponicaIndica hybrid type, were cultivated according to the conventional method. Dates of flooding, transplanting, drainage, harvest, duration of the flooding period, rice varieties used and rice yield are given in Table 2. Four, four, and nine measurements were performed during the cultivation period of the major rice in 1992, the second rice in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Table 1.
