Resource Management in Rice Systems: Nutrients Papers presented at the International Workshop on Natural Resource Management in Rice Systems: Technology Adaption for Efficient Nutrient Use, Bogor, Indonesia, 2–5 December 1996

Rice is the major staple food in Asia, and food security means rice security for most Asians. By the year 2025, we need to produce about 60% more rice than we do today to meet the growing demand. Efficient use of inputs is vital to safely produce the additional food from limited resources with minim...
