Rice is the most important crop in the Tolima region. However, this crop has high water consumption due to inefficient agricultural practices. Therefore, the use of non-conventional irrigation techniques emerges as a strategy for efficient water use, especially in conditions of climatic variability that affect water availability. Three irrigation techniques were compared—conventional, Multiple Inlet Rice Irrigation (MIRI), and Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD)—in terms of water productivity and crop yield, during two crop cycles. It was observed that the use of MIRI and AWD irrigation techniques allows for reducing water consumption in rice cultivation by up to 54% without affecting yield, which leads to greater water productivity with these techniques compared to conventional irrigation. According to the results of this study, it is possible to reduce irrigation water use in rice cultivation without affecting yield.Downloads
