Interpretive Summary
The study was aimed at developing and disseminating improved fertilizer recommendations, using the Nutrient Expert® (NE) fertilizer decision support tool, for the farmers of Nepal in collaboration with FORWARD, a leading non-governmental organization in Nepal, and the Non-Resident Nepalese Association of Australia (NRNA).
