Fig. 1 Chlorophyll meter readings as affected by cultivar and N management in Los Baños, Philippines, during the wet season in 1997. The 90% sufficiency index readings were calculated as 90% of the well-fertilized plot readings. Arrows indicate time of 30 kg N ha-1 top-dressing to chlorophyll meterbased treatments
