TLDR
In this article, the nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and manganese content of rice was adversely affected in the absence of standing water, and two levels of nitrogen (40 and 60 kg.N/ha.) caused no significant difference in yield in 1965, but in 1966, when 30 and 60kg. N/ha. were used, the latter gave better yields.
Abstract
Limited moisture supply caused reduction in leaf area, number of effective tillers, ratio of sound to unsound grains and the nitrogen, phosphorus, iron and manganese content of rice. Crop yield was adversely affected in the absence of standing water. Two levels of nitrogen (40 and 60 kg.N/ha.) caused no significant difference in yield in 1965, but in 1966, when 30 and 60 kg. N/ha. were used, the latter gave better yields.

Effect of tillage practices on irrigation requirement, weed control and yield of lowland rice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the irrigation requirement was 2295 mm with ordinary ploughing compared with 1350 mm with soil compaction, and that the ratio of total biological yield (grain + straw + weeds) to total nutrient (N+P+K) uptake was 59.0 compared with 53.5 with puddling once and 50.0 with conventional plowing.

Influence of water deficit and waterlogging on the mineral status of a medicinal plant Chlorophytum borivilianum.

TL;DR: The analysis of macroelement in the leaf tissue revealed that water deficit caused a decline in levels of phosphorus and potassium while there was accumulation of calcium, magnesium and sulphur in the leaves of waterlogged plants.

Water and fertility management of rice varieties under low atmospheric evaporative demand.

TL;DR: Dular responded to the treatments of cyclic wetting-drying in a way similar to that of submergence because the crop completed its life cycle during the period of low evaporative demand.

Physiological factors limiting growth and yield ofOryza sativa under unflooded conditions

TL;DR: It is proposed that high manganese levels in plants grown under unflooded conditions affects the indoleacetic acid oxidase mechanism resulting in retarded growth and depressed grain yields.
