Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important cereal crop in the world and is the staple food of over half the world’s population. In intensive cropping systems, maintenance of soil fertility is the major criteria to sustain the crop yields for longer period of time. In these systems, they deplete substantial amount of nutrients from the soil throughout year. For maintaining fertility status of soil on a long run, we should dependent on the different nutrient sources rather than single source chemical fertilizers. Paddy respond well to the integration of different nutrient sources rather than single source. To achieve maximum yields without polluting the environment we should apply chemical fertilizers along with organic fertilizers. | Review on response of rice to nutrient management interventions
