If it is possible to find data from any province in Indonesia or from remote sensing (satellite) data, there has been a large reduction in the total area of irrigated land (flatland) since 2000 due to of changes in land use from the paddy field. in non-agricultural uses, such as settlements, airports, roads, offices, etc. This caused the rice cultivation area to shift from irrigated rice field to upland rice (rainfed rice). When rice production data (instead of rice productivity) is shown in Fig.3, further discussion from line 295 to line 300 will change.
Suggestions for minimum standard revisions are as follows

Indonesia Rice Irrigation System: Time for Innovation
Most cities in Indonesia have seen major land use changes from irrigated rice fields to non-agricultural uses, especially settlements, offices, new roads and other infrastructure around the cities. In addition, the total area of irrigated rice fields should not be constant from 2005 to 2020. There have been large changes in land use from irrigated rice fields to non-agricultural uses, especially settlements and other infrastructure.
This made a big change in land uses, especially from irrigated rice fields to other uses, especially settlements around the cities. After Fig.4 has changed with rice production each year (million tons instead of tons/ha), then the discussion in line 325-327 will have to be revised accordingly. However, to better predict rice production adequacy in the left Y-axis, total rice production in each year must be in tons (not rice productivity as in Fig. 4).
The type of this figure should be "Line on two axes" because of the huge difference in CH4 emission between rice cultivation and fertilizer management as well as crop residues, which makes these two lines almost impossible to distinguish (look very close to zero). Since there are large differences between rice production and others such as crop residue and fertilizer management, the data should be plotted on two axes of different scales so that all plotted lines are clearly plotted as in Fig. In addition, under this subtitle, more discussion should also be added, especially discussion about the prediction of irrigation water scarcity in the future, so the authors then introduce innovations to adapt rice production technologies that enable Indonesia to increase rice production to cope with the increase in population growth.
Line 545 Conclusions After changing some details and discussion, it will be necessary to change the content of the Conclusions as well. The opinions of the authors should be very strongly expressed as to why the innovations are needed, but all opinions should be supported by current facts and references.

Soil salinity is one of the abiotic stresses that greatly affects plant growth and yield [1]. It has been said that 20% of the world's arable land is saline, which can greatly affect crops [2]. Vermicompost is one of the organic fertilizers known to help increase plant growth and salt tolerance [7].
The effect of vermicompost on the salinity was evident in all the treatments as shown in Table 2. For the rest of the treatments, the salinity also becomes higher when the amount of saline soil becomes higher. After the observation period, soil salinity for all treatments was lower than its salinity before planting.
As shown in Table 5, Treatment 5 had the highest biomass yield and was significantly different from the rest of the treatment. The reason may be the accumulation of P due to the organic matter contributed by the crop. Potassium is one of the primary nutrients and very essential in plant growth and development.
A clear increase was also observed in the soil after planting in all the treatments. Based on the result of the analysis, potassium (K) in the soil had a decrease in its content before and after planting. Deleted: for Deleted: from the Commentary [WW22]: It needs clarification on what the mechanism was.
It shows that vermicompost is an effective soil amendment to reduce soil salinity.
The root is important because it absorbed the nutrients the plants need, it holds the base of the stem to support the plants. The growth of plants planted on saline soils is often limited by the ability of the roots to draw water from the soil and transport it to the shoot [19]. Based on the result, T1 got the longest root length, which means that the soil properties are friable, which makes the root easily penetrate into the soil.
Salt stress caused low intra-cellular water potential and water scarcity around the root zone, due to which roots did not absorb enough water and nutrients for adequate plant growth [22]. However, based on the result, the whole root length for each treatment is not significantly different from each other. If the sample weight is the same as the other sample, a comparison on this basis is significant, but if the result of sample weight is not the same, it is considered insignificant.
It can be concluded that a combination of 75% vermicompost and vermicompost is highly recommended as a soil amendment to improve the growth and yield of crops affected by soil salinity. 25% Saline soil is the best combination to increase the yield of string beans in saline soil. Therefore, the use of vermicompost is highly recommended as a soil amendment to improve the growth and yield of crops affected by soil salinity.
