How does nitrogen-use efficiency vary among Indian rice varieties
Study has found a wide variety of nitrogen-use efficiency in Indian rice varieties.
- Study shows that Indian rice varieties have a wide range of nitrogen-use efficiency due to genetic diversity and environmental factors.
- Some rice varieties exhibit high nitrogen-use efficiency, effectively converting nitrogen inputs into grain yield.
- Others may be less efficient in utilizing nitrogen, leading to lower grain yields with the same amount of nitrogen input.
- Genetic traits such as root system architecture, nitrogen uptake ability, and nitrogen remobilization contribute to the variations in nitrogen-use efficiency among the varieties.
- Environmental factors like soil fertility, water availability, and management practices also influence nitrogen-use efficiency in different rice varieties.
