The SSNM
approach of developing and implementing improved fertilizer
management for rice in Indonesia is explained in a paper written
by collaborating scientists from Indonesian agricultural
research institutions, the Southeast Asia Program (SEAP) of PPI/PPIC
and IPI, and IRRI. The SSNM approach as presented in the paper
includes use of the leaf color chart (LCC) for managing
fertilizer N, and it enables use of both the nutrient omission
plot technique and soil testing—through use of a portable soil
test kit—to determine the needs of rice for fertilizer P and K.
The paper entitled “Improving nutrient management for irrigated
rice with particular consideration to Indonesia” was prepared for the proceedings of the International
Rice Conference held in Bali in September 2005. A copy of the
paper is available at the following link. |
