Evaluation of N fertilization management strategies for increasing crop yields and nitrogen use efficiency in furrow-irrigated maize–wheat system under permanent raised bed planting

Information on the effect of N management on crop yields and N use efficiency (NUE) under furrow irrigations is scarce for conservation agriculture (CA)-based annual maize–wheat (MW) system in South Asia. A 2-year (2013–2015) field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of residue management in main plots and combinations of two rates and three methods of N fertilizer application plus no N control treatment in subplots on the yield, N...
