Question

in rice cultivation we add fertilizer before irrigation or after irrigation?​

Answer 1

$\mathbb{ANSWER}$

• The timing of Urea application before the irrigation or after the irrigation means top dressing of urea. It is not the application of urea during the final land preparation. Usually top dressing is done before intercultural operation of a standing crop.

• In dry condition the soil under vertisol is very strong and hard but in wet condition it is very sticky and exchangeable. If a vertisol maintains irrigation water in around its field capacity level in that case the top dressing of urea could be applied after irrigation of vertisols.
