Intensification and no till system are efficient nitrogen allocators in rice crops
Nitrogen is one of the yield-limiting nutrients for the growth of rice plants. The study emphasizes on utilization of nitrogen by the four varieties of rice plants (viz. var. MTU 1010, var. IET 4786, var. IET 17430, and var. IET 9947) under system of rice intensification (SRI), zero tillage (ZTL), and conventional (CVN) method of […]
