2 4R Nutrient Stewardship Major Crops of Southeast Asia Good Reasons to Engage 1. 4 Rights Nutrient Stewardship Concept 2. Opportunity in Major Crops 3. Examples of IPNI SEAP R&D

3 4R Concept

4 4R Concept Right RATE Assess soil nutrient supply and plant demand for nutrients for a specific yield target

5 4R Concept Right TIME Assess timing of crop uptake, soil nutrient supply, loss risks and field operation logistics

6 4R Concept Right PLACE Place nutrients where they are accessible to crop

7 4R Concept Right SOURCE Ensure balanced supply of plantavailable nutrients, utilizing all available sources (organic, inorganic)

8 4R Concept Beyond N-P-K Societal norms and expectations, measured by performance indicators, and determined by a range of stakeholder

9 Opportunity in Major Crops Selection Criteria Production area Extractive (and not fertilized) Market demand Responsive crop Yield gap

10 Opportunity in Major Crops Production Area (FAO, 2010, ha) Rice (37,894,000) Maize (8,929,000) Oil palm (10,483,000) Sugar cane (2,052,000) Cassava (3,070,000) Cocoa (1,673,000)

11 Opportunity in Major Crops N-P-K Fertilizer Use (IFA, 2010, t) Rice # (3,716,000) Maize # (1,023,000) Oil palm + (2,618,000) Sugar cane + (459,000) Cassava* #+- (150,000) Cocoa* #- (15,000) * IPNI SEAP estimates # Highly nutrient extractive crops + Highly yielding crops - Currently non intensive

18 Illustrative IPNI R&D Examples Systems Information clarifies and quantifies the opportunity for fertilizer use and marketing. It is produced by analyzing the performance of crops and fertilizers within a geographic region / domain and season(s). 4R Interventions support decisions about fertilizer use in the commercial agronomic process. The are produced by testing the performance of fertilizers in production systems.
