  ABSTRACT: The nitrogen cycle is the basis for understanding nitrogen dynamics in soil fertility and ecosystem health. Nitrification and denitrification are key nitrogen cycle components that influence nitrogen uptake in food crops, thus critical to food security. Rice (Oryza sativa) is comparatively unique in that the nitrification-denitrification sequence is a perceived loss of available nitrogen for plant uptake and the production of nitrous oxide (N2O) has severe implications in climate change. This review focuses on recent research involving nitrification and denitrification, with an emphasis on rice. The review also focuses on the emerging irrigation strategies associated with furrow irrigation and alternating wetting-drying irrigation. With growing global interest in reducing irrigation water application, new research paradigms are emerging to perfect these reduced water applications systems to guarantee food security and farm profitability.
