Response of Rainfed Rice to Soil Test-Based Nutrient Application in Terai Alluvial Soils
Results of 2 years of field experiments evaluating the impact of soil test-based fertilisationon rainfed rice showed significant yield increase with balanced use of nutrients. Omission of nutrients caused yield loss while uptake of all the nutrients correlated with yield, suggesting interdependence of nutrient uptake that influenced yield.

Site-Specific Nutrient Management Performance in a Rice-Wheat Cropping System
A site-specific approach to nutrient management was evaluated in 56 on-farm experimentswith irrigated wheat and transplanted rice crops in Northwest India. The agronomic andeconomic performance of this approach was compared with current farmer fertiliserpractices for 2 years.

Phosphate Fertiliser Management of Hybrid Rice
Appropriate P application rates were suggested for rice through a soil test-based approachwherein application of the full recommendation was responsible for a 5.2 t/ha grain yieldresponse which raised the potential of a two crop system to 13.9 t/ha. The soil test-basedapproach improved harvest index, increased the recovery efficiency of N and K, and thecorresponding economic benefits from hybrid rice cultivation.

Soil Test-Based Nutrient Management to Attain Targeted Yields in a Rice-Based Cropping Sequence
A study on appropriate P and K management strategies in a jute-kharif (winter) rice-boro (summer) rice sequence under a lowland rice ecosystem showed that compared to State recommended rates, the approach based on soil testing did lead to higher crop yields, net returns, and relative agronomic effectiveness.
