A combination of fluid fertilizer and early floodwater establishment could reduce fertilizer and application inputs or increase rice yields by maximizing N efficiency. The N uptake and rice yields of subsurface, banded fluid fertilizer treatments were compared with those of broadcast dry granular urea applied in 1, 2, or 3 applications. The results suggest that a single application of subsurface banded fertilizer at planting can help reduce or eliminate subsequent N applications.
