CropsFarmers in Tangail are trying deep-placed urea, wet direct seeding and side-by-side variety trials under the TARAPS project, and women's seed groups are supplying new rice varieties locally.
CropsPushing urea super granules 7 to 10 cm into paddy soil instead of broadcasting urea cuts fertiliser waste by up to 30 percent, enough to save about 600,000 tonnes of urea and Tk 2,000 crore in imports a year, an article argues.
Deep-placed guti urea more than doubles urea efficiency and raises rice yields by 20-25 percent, and this first part explains how to apply it.
The final part of our guide to guti urea covers randomly planted rice, other crops and how briquettes outperform prilled urea.
