Abstract Alternative N-fertilizer management practices are needed to increase productivity and the N-use efficiency of flooded rice (Oryza sativa L.). Seven field experiments were conducted at various sites in Bangladesh and Indonesia to evaluate the effect of time and method of fertilizer-N application on grain yield in transplanted rice. Conventional fertilizer application was compared with band placement of liquid urea using a mechanical push-type injector and point placement of urea supergranules. With band placement, grain yields were up to 38 and 55% higher than with researchers' and farmers' practices, respectively, and similar to those with point placement of urea supergranules.
