Rice Production and Nutrient Management in India
نویسنده
چکیده
The demand for rice in India is projected at 128 million tonnes (M t) for the year 2012 and will require a production level of 3,000 kg/ ha...significantly greater than the present average yield of 1,930 kg/ ha. This low level of productivity can be increased substantially by growing high yielding varieties/hybrids and by increasing both the area under balanced fertilizer use and application rates.

متن کاملStandardization of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) method of water management in low land rice (Oryza sativa (L.))
Alternate wettting and drying (AWD) systems save water compared with continuoussubmergence (CS) irrigation. However, the reported effect on yield varies widely and detailedcharacterizations of the hydrological conditions of AWD experiments are often lacking so thatgeneralizations are difficult to make. We compared the effects of AWD and CS on crop andwater productivity in rice in the field expe...

Low soil fertility and high weed infestation are the main culprits for the declining maize production inWestern Kenya. Technology packages to address these constraints exist, but their effectiveness is likely to be influenced by variability in soil types and farm management practices in the region. Trials were conducted during the 2008/2009 cropping seasons to investigate the nutrient use e...
