Title: FARMERS' NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN INTENSIVE IRRIGATED AND DIRECT SEEDED RICE PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN MEKONG DELTA, VIETNAM
Abstract: The investigation of 294 farmers in intensive irrigated and direct seeded rice production areas in Mekong delta indicates that farmers basically applied fertilizers three times per season and mostly used granular and compound fertilizers. More than half of farmers participated in the project of nutrient management, and only one-fourth of non-project participants and farmers outside the project zone applied foliar fertilizers. Farmers participated in the project of nutrient management used lower seed rate and nitrogen fertilizer than other farmers. Participation in nutrient management project, season, and nature of seed or rice variety, rice farm size significantly affected rice yield. Participated farmers in nutrient project and high yielding area projection affected the use of fertilizer.
