Resumen:

In Uruguay, flooded rice historically rotated with perennial pastures (mix of grasses and legumes) for livestock production. Business as usual consisted basically in two years of rice crops followed by two-four years of grazed pastures. This allowed increased yields, diversified incomes, preserved natural resources, and minimizedthe use of pesticides and fertilizers. However, there is a growing trend in the last decade to avoid the second rice on rice straw, introduce other crops like soybeans and reduce or eliminate the perennial pastures from the systems. There are some concerns about the design and sustainability of new intensified rice systems.
