Yield and nitrogen use efficiency of rice-wheat cropping system in gypsum amended saline-sodic soil

It is critical to determine nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to find to which extent higher rates of nitrogen can improve crop yield with effective management practices. Two-year field experiments were conducted to investigate yield and NUE of rice-wheat cropping system on saline-sodic soil. Treatments...

Yield and nitrogen use efficiency of rice-wheat cropping system in gypsum amended saline-sodic soil
