Abstract:
... Conventional fertilizer nitrogen (N) recommendations for rainfed maize resulted in low N use efficiency (NUE) due to several reasons. This warrants application of fertilizer synchronous with plant requirements that could aid in improved productivity and NUE. In this backdrop, to optimize N rates for maize, a field experiment was conducted during 2014 to 2016 in Vertisols. Twelve treatments in comb ...

Abstract:
... Sustainable agricultural management is essential for ensuring food security and economic development. Efficient agricultural land use based on crop rotation practices can deliver greater soil fertility and higher economic potential. We proposed a decision support tool (DST) for preserving land fertility, maximizing agricultural profit, minimizing agricultural pollution, and water usage. The propos ...
