The integrated and efficient use of nutrients
is one of the key issues for sustainable resource management in irrigated
rice in Asia. This book summarizes research conducted from 1994 to 2001 to
develop and evaluate a new concept for site-specific nutrient management and
the tools needed for applying it in farmers’ fields with irrigated
rice.
