Methane (CH4 ) is the second most potent greenhouse gases after carbon dioxide. More than 90% of world rice is cultivated under submerged condition, which facilitates CH4 production in soil. In this pot experiment, different doses of EDTA were applied in rice paddy soils to evaluate their effects on CH4 emission and plant growth during rice cultivation. Application of EDTA at small doses (up to 5.0< 4 emission without compromising rice grain yield. Higher doses (10.04 emission (even more than control). Therefore, based on this pot experiment data it could be concluded that EDTA application at 5.04 emission from rice paddy soils.
