Yields of rice can be substantially increased by the use of nitrogenous fertilizers, but the return to the producer depends very much on the mode of application. This article reviews the factors affecting the uptake of nitrogen by wetland rice, in terms of grain production, and the means by which experimentally achieved results can be translated into everyday farming practice.
