Paper Summary

Summer legumes like dhaincha can increase the yield and nutrient uptake of rice crops compared to mungbean, urdbean, or fallow fields. Adding more nitrogen up to 100% can boost rice yields, but going beyond that doesn't make a big difference. Using 150% recommended dose of nitrogen can significantly increase the nutrient uptake by rice plants.
