1. Effect of Plant Population and Nitrogen Rate on Growth and Yield of Two Pre-release rice varieties in Kenya

The application of precision agriculture (PA) through the optimization of plant population and management of fertilizer nitrogen (N) can increase rice yield. Current rice (Oryza sativa) plant population and fertilizer nitrogen (N) management guidelines in  Kenya were developed from research conducted about three decades. These management guidelines might still be robust and could be applied to recently released as well as close-to- release varieties. However, the yield potential of... W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W. Kioko, W.
