Paddy Fertilizer Recommendation – Poster 01
Crop Overview & Recommendations
Overview
Paddy cultivation requires careful nutrient management throughout growth stages. Proper nitrogen timing, phosphorus availability, and potassium application are essential for healthy plants, strong tillering, and good grain filling.
Fertilizer Recommendations
- Basal application: Apply phosphorus and potassium at planting or before transplanting.
- Nitrogen: Split applications during tillering, panicle initiation, and grain filling stages.
- Micronutrients: Zinc is often required; apply as basal or foliar spray based on deficiency symptoms.
- Water management: Coordinate fertilizer applications with proper water management for optimal uptake.
Application Tips
Apply basal fertilizers before transplanting or at planting. Top dress nitrogen in split doses based on crop stage. Maintain proper water levels during critical growth periods. Monitor crop for nutrient deficiency signs.
