1. Nutrient and Water Management in Rice-Wheat Systems - some current issues Bijay Singh Department of Soils Punjab Agricultural University Ludhiana 141 004 Punjab
8. Real-time N management 2) Monitor leaf color Basal – 14 DAT or 21 DAS 1) Apply N early Plant N uptake Days after transplanting (DAT) or sowing (DAS) Monitor leaf color at 7-10 day intervals LCC reading below critical value 3) Apply N when LCC reading is below critical value
9. Fixed time – adjustable dose N management RTOP 2004 Plant N uptake Days after transplanting (DAT) or sowing (DAS) Critical stages for N application Monitor leaf color at critical stages 3) Adjust N dose up or down based on LCC reading Basal – 14 DAT or 21 DAS 1) Apply early N Tillering Panicle initiation Heading 2) Topdress N at predetermined critical times (growth stages)
