Nutrient Optimization and Yield Intensification of Major Cereal Systems of Eastern India

India is the second largest producer of rice in the world with a production of 100 million t in 2010-11. However, it's current productivity is far below it's attainable yield level. Introducing hybrid rice into the predominant cropping system of eastern India and changing the blanket fertilizer recommendations for high yielding varieties (HYV) for rice to site-specific fertilizer recommendations can help boost rice productivity.
