Abstract
Efficient nitrogen use in rice cultivation is critical for improving yields and minimizing environmental impacts. This study examines the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of different rice varieties under varied nitrogen application rates. Field trials were conducted in two distinct agro-ecosystems to assess the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on plant growth, biomass production, and grain yield. The research identifies high-NUE rice varieties that maintain productive yields with reduced nitrogen input, thus contributing to more sustainable farming practices. Additionally, the study highlights the role of soil health, irrigation management, and fertilization practices in optimizing NUE in rice production.
