I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 21:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

@Chiswick Chap:
My observations follow.
There appear to be no copyright violations.
The article appears to be written well.
The article appears to be stable.
The article appears to be verifiable.  I checked the sources I could access, and the article appears to agree with them.
The article appears to be broad for its coverage, despite its length.
The article is well-illustrated.
I have some points to address.
For the sentence that starts with "Pairings such as rice and fish or rice and ducks form a mutualistic relationship", I see that the cited source mentions fish, but not ducks.  Are you able to find a source that mentions ducks for the part of the paragraph this sentence is in?  I see that this source mentions ducks, but I was not sure if you figured this source would suffice for mentioning ducks.

"Ecological mechanism and diversity in rice based integrated farming system". Ecological Indicators. 91: 359–375. Bibcode:2018EcInd..91..359N. doi:10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.04.025. S2CID 90610992.
Added the ref. It analyses the benefits of systems with ducks.
In the table, I see the sentence, "Surface must be even; water depth must suit ducks; young ducks best as they don't nibble rice leaf tips."  Perhaps we could expand the contraction and change "nibble" to "bite".
Expanded and edited.
In the table, I see, "Chinese mitten crab, from 1980s The crabs feed on zooplankton."  I think we could add a semicolon or a full stop to "1980s".
Done.
I suggest changing instances of "while" to "as".
This isn't an improvement in British English.
If you make the changes, I plan to pass the article as a good article.
