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

Biocontrol is an ecological method of controlling pests such as insects, mites, weeds and
plant diseases using other organisms. 1 This practice has been used for centuries, and the …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most crucial nutrients from production point of view regardless of
the crop species. Being a key factor of crop production, N management is very essential …

The need to maintain high rice yields and improve fertilizer nitrogen (N)-use efficiency has
fueled the use of tools such as leaf colour chart (LCC) and chlorophyll meter (SPAD meter) …

Brassinosteroids (BRs) have been reported to counteract various stresses. We investigated
effects of exogenously applied brassinosteroid, 24-epibrassinolide (EBR), and …

Hybrid rice varieties have higher yield potential over inbred varieties. This improvement is
not always translated to the grain yield and its physiological causes are still unclear. In order …

Developed as a nondestructive aid for estimating the N content in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
crops, leaf color charts (LCCs) are a numbered series of plastic panels that range from …

In cereal crop production in South Asia, nitrogen fertilizers are generally managed as
blanket recommendations formulated on the basis of crop response data averaged over …

A field experiment was carried out to determine the optimum sowing date and nitrogen (N)
level for the scented rice cv. Pusa Sugandh-3. Twelve treatment combinations of 3 sowing …

The efficient management of nitrogen (N) on a site-specific basis is critical for the
improvement of crop yield and the reduction of environmental impacts. This review …
