Nitrogen is applied into transplanted rice in the proportion of:

• This split application of nitrogen is ideal for transplanted rice for the following reasons:
-50% at basal: Provides an initial boost of nitrogen for early establishment and growth of the seedlings after transplanting.
-25% at tillering: Supports the rapid growth and development of tillers (side shoots), which contribute significantly to the final yield.
-25% at panicle emergence: Ensures adequate nitrogen supply during the critical reproductive stage, promoting good panicle development and grain filling.
