Fertilizers play a crucial role in the growth and productivity of rice plants. Nutrient deficiencies can impact the growth and yield of rice, so it's important to use the right amount and type of fertilizers. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are key nutrients needed by rice plants, and a lack of any of these can lead to lower yields. Adding micronutrients like zinc and sulfur can boost productivity. Combining organic and inorganic fertilizers can improve growth and yields. Using fertilizers in a balanced way not only increases crop productivity but also maintains soil health. This review provides valuable information for anyone interested in rice production and research.
