Site and management effects on grain yield and yield variability of rainfed lowland rice in the Kilombero flood plain of Tanzania

In East Africa, smallholder farmers produce rainfed lowland rice mainly in floodplains. Low nitrogen contents of the predominant Fluvisols and highly variable hydrological conditions result in low yields and large yield variations, and hence, result in high production risks for farmers. We investiga...
