Nutrition management for high rainfall crops at risk of…
25.02.2025Waterlogging occurs in most years in the high rainfall zone (HRZ) and is a cause of reduced yield and a constraint to crop choice. In this paper we refer to waterlogging as both a flooded soil where water is visible above the surface, and soils
