In this chapter of the book, effective use of fertilizers and water management for the rice-wheat cropping sequence has been detailed. It is related to the selection of the right kind of fertilizers, including the use of modified urea compounds, their timely application and balanced use, application of macroand micronutrients and use of organic manures and bio-fertilizers. Methods and practices of fertilizer use efficiency in irrigated and rainfed areas have also been elucidated in terms of water and nutrient availability; movement of nutrients, soil moisture and root distribution; optimization of water and fertilizer use; and water use efficiency.
