Combining sub-surface fertigation with
conservation agriculture in intensively
irrigated rice under rice-wheat system can be
an option for sustainably improving water
and nitrogen use-efficiency
Abstract Context The rice-wheat cropping system in the Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) of South Asia has been shown to have higher productivity. However, this benefit is offset by the unsustainable over-drafting of groundwater resources. Given the growing scarcity of water, it is imperative to investigate alternative crop establishment and irrigation methods that do not rely on the conventional […]
