The study aimed to find the best amount of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer for growing rice in Uganda. They tested different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on a specific rice variety and found that applying 80 kg of nitrogen and 70 kg of phosphorus per hectare led to the best growth and yield. This combination increased the number of tillers, panicles, and plant dry matter, resulting in higher rice production. The researchers also discovered that applying 40 kg of nitrogen was more efficient than applying 80 kg in terms of nitrogen use. Overall, using the right amount of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer can significantly improve rice growth and yield.
