Rice NPK Planner
Plan urea, DAP and MOP for transplanted or direct-seeded paddy from the recommended N-P₂O₅-K₂O dose, split across the crop's growth stages.
Khaira (zinc deficiency) is the most common micronutrient disorder in lowland rice — skip ZnSO₄ only if a soil test shows sufficient zinc or it was applied last season.
Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements — confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.
Farmers and agronomists rely on the free Rice NPK Planner for accurate, instant results in the field — no spreadsheet, no sign-up, and it works offline.
About Rice NPK Planner
Transplanted paddy is typically fertilized at around 120:60:40 kg/ha N-P₂O₅-K₂O, with nitrogen split across basal, tillering and panicle-initiation stages for efficiency. This planner adjusts the dose for your soil test, scales it to your field, and converts it into urea, DAP and MOP with a stage-wise nitrogen split.

Frequently asked questions
How is nitrogen split for rice?+
Apply about 50% of the nitrogen with all the phosphorus and potash as basal, 25% at active tillering, and 25% at panicle initiation. Splitting cuts losses from a flooded field and matches the crop's uptake peaks.
Is the rice fertilizer dose the same for basmati?+
No — aromatic basmati is given less nitrogen (around 90 kg/ha or lower) to prevent lodging and protect aroma. Use a basmati-specific plan rather than the coarse-rice dose.
Is this tool free and private?+
Yes — completely free with no sign-up, and every calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline and your data never leaves the device.
