Adoption of FERTO package recommendation significantly improves yield performance of rice. FERTO is a knowledge-based fertilizer recommendation options consisting of four basic principles indigenous soil nutrient status nutrient quantity nutrient access and crop nutrient requirement. The application of the four basic principles contributes to yield increment of about 80-300. Compartmentalization of the contribution by the four basic principles towards yield increment is necessary to enhance fertilizer use efficiency in rice production.

The FERTO package described is location specific recommendation options to achieve targeted high yield performance. Studies conducted in KADA and MADA indicated that poor soil KADA has strong influenced by nutrient quantity and nutrient access principles. For rich soils MADA indigenous soil nutrient status dominates the contribution to high yield performance. The achievement of high yield performance of poor soil is highly dependent on applied fertilizers. The crop nutrient requirement is probably varietal specific as both locations showed similar percentage contribution to yield performance.

Abstract

Adoption of FERTO package recommendation significantly improves yield performance of rice. FERTO is a knowledge-based fertilizer recommendation options consisting of four basic principles indigenous soil nutrient status nutrient quantity nutrient access and crop nutrient requirement. The application of the four basic principles contributes to yield increment of about 80-300. Compartmentalization of the contribution by the four basic principles towards yield increment is necessary to enhance fertilizer use efficiency in rice production. This will lead to future studies on precision fertilizer management technology which is strongly related to locational variations. The FERTO package described is location specific recommendation options to achieve targeted high yield performance. Studies conducted in KADA and MADA indicated that poor soil KADA has strong influenced by nutrient quantity and nutrient access principles. For rich soils MADA indigenous soil nutrient status dominates the contribution to high yield performance. The achievement of high yield performance of poor soil is highly dependent on applied fertilizers. The crop nutrient requirement is probably varietal specific as both locations showed similar percentage contribution to yield performance. The compartmentalization of yield contribution is extremely important in the development of location specific fertilizer formulation. FERTO package is computerized fertilizer management tool that can be utilized by farmers in making decision for effective fertilizer management. The adoption of the package will lead to improvement in yield performance and subsequently increase farm return.
