Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUsing Soil Plant Analysis Development Chlorophyll Meter for Two Growth Stages to Assess Grain Yield of Malaysian Rice (Oryza sativa)Asa Gholizadeh, Mohd Amin Mohd Soom, Anuar Abd. Rahim, Aimrun WayayokProblem Statement: Proper yield management in rice influences grain quality and quantity. Nitrogen site-specific management is also effective on final product of crops because excessive nitrogen application at any growth stage can reduce yield and increase disease incidence. In contrast, suboptimal nitrogen levels at discrete growth stages may substantially reduce plant productivity. The nitrogen status at specific growth stages may … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 11,820 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRainfall Variation and Changing Pattern of Agricultural CycleMd.
