on the development of SSNM was conducted in pilot villages from
1997 to 2000 in three pilot villages in Subang District near
IIRR. From 2001 to 2004, activities were conducted in Bojong
Jaya and Sukamandi in Subang District, primarily for fine-tuning
the N recommendation. Nutrient omission plots were also
conducted in Kuningan District in the 2003 dry season.
