Abstract

To avoid excessive chemical-fertilizer application and improve agricultural productivity in rice, a fertilizer recommendation system called Nutrient Expert® (NE) was designed. However, the ability of NE to balance yield, profitability and environmental sustainability in rice production needs to be further evaluated, as it is still difficult for farmers to assess the proper nitrogen (N) application rate.
