To produce enough food, smallholder farmers in developing countries apply fertilizer
nitrogen (N) to cereals, sometimes even more than the local recommendations. During the …

Rice yield is essential for more than half of the world's population, and thus, accurate
predictions of rice yield are of great importance for trade, development policies …

Abstract The soils of South Asia provide food to almost 1.8 billion people but are prone to
many sustainability issues. The ever-increasing population has put enormous pressure on …

Predicting the grain yield during early to mid-growth stages is important for initial diagnosis
of rice and quantitative regulation of topdressing. In this study, we conducted four …

Crop nitrogen (N) status during vegetative growth is an essential indicator of crop vigor and
predictor of subsequent grain yield. The concept of the critical nitrogen (Nc) dilution curve …

The system fertilization approach emerged to improve nutrient use efficiency in croplands.
This new fertilization concept aims at taking advantage of nutrient cycling within an …

Nitrogen management is vital for economic and environmental sustainability. Asynchrony of
fertilizer application with crop demand along various nitrogen losses in Eastern India leads …

Blanket fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations for large irrigated transplanted rice tracts
lead to low N use-efficiency (NUE) due to field-to-field variability in soil N supply and …

To reduce the amount of wasted reactive nitrogen (N) reaching the environment and to
achieve high N fertilizer use efficiency, a site-specific N management strategy using …

Accurate assessments of chlorophyll density (ChD) using hyperspectral techniques are
important for effective evaluation of plant productivity and precise nitrogen (N) management …
