1 Management in Improving the Productivity of Lowland Rice in the Philippines Pompe C. Sta. Cruz Crop Science Cluster, College of Agriculture University of the Philippines Los Banos Subject of research for several decades Assumptions Management for Lowland Rice Results should have been incorporated in nutrient management recommendations Recommendations have been adopted/adapted by farmers Rice nutrition is not a yield-limiting component in lowland rice production Current situation: low-medium productivity of Philippine lowland rice areas Are there any gaps in the utilization of recommended or appropriate nutrient management? Can nutrient management contribute to the improvement of lowland rice productivity? 1
