Abstract: The ecological and physiological water requirement of rice was studied in a cold paddy field of Sanjiang Plain,and the field experiment was conducted at the Sanjiang Mire Wetland Experimental Station(47°35'N, 133°31'E),Chinese Academy of Sciences. Under intermittent irrigation(IT),moisture irrigation(MT) and continuous flooding irrigation conditions(CSF). The evapotranspiration,percolation and soil evaporation of paddy field were measured by non-weighing lysimeters(test pits with and without bottoms) and micro-lysimeters, respectively. The results showed that compared with that under CSF irrigation, the transpiration under IT irrigation and MT irrigation were not significantly reduced,but 14. 8%, 29. 6% of water amounts were respectively reduced by decreasing the water loss through soil water evaporation,and 22. 7%, 31. 8% of water amounts were respectively reduced by decreasing the water loss through percolation. The water use efficiency of IT irrigation and MT irrigation were increased 28. 6% and 42. 9%, respectively,with significant increases of grain yield. The actual yield of rice under IT and MT was respectively 9. 4% and 12. 7% higher than that under CSF. Water saving and yield increasing of Moisture irrigation were slightly superior to those of intermittent irrigation,but the differences were not significant.
