“…Similar to Ncrit, plant critical phosphorus concentration (Pcrit) in shoot biomass has been determined for phosphorus diagnosis in plants for efficient nutrient management practices (Ulrich andBerry, 1961, Salette andBélanger and Ziadi, 2008). While most studies address the utilisation of NNI (Zaidi et al, 2008(Zaidi et al, , 2009Yue et al, 2012; and N-P (Kamprath, 1987;Bélanger et al, 2011;Djaman et al, 2012) relationships as a management strategy in fully-irrigated settings, the relevant management tools were not developed and evaluated for crop nutrient management under limited irrigation and rainfed conditions. The application of the fertiliser recommendations that were developed for fully-irrigated settings may not be effective or even environmentally sustainable (e.g., greater leaching potential due to excessive fertiliser applications) under limited irrigation or rainfed settings (Djaman et al, 2013).…”
