Assessing the effects of management and hydro-edaphic conditions on rice in contrasting East African wetlands using experimental and modelling approaches

Abstract

Lowland rice yields in East Africa remain low despite favourable hydro-edaphic conditions as benefits from improved cultural management vary between and within wetland types and interactions are poorly understood. Hence, multi-year agronomic field experiments were established to assess the differential responses of lowland rice to management (rainfed 0 and 60 kg N ha
