Not AvailableIdentification of suitable climate resilient nutrient management practices will reduce the ill-effects of extreme climate variability on agricultural production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rotation is one of the major cropping system traditionally followed in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, which are responsible for the food security of the country. The relation between rice yield variability and rainfall under different nutrient management practices and the relation between wheat yield variability and maximum temperature using the yield data from the long term Integrated Nutrient Management experiment on the rice-wheat system for the last 27 years at 9 sites representing different agro-ecological zones of India were analyzed. The application of 50% recommended NPK through chemical fertilizers and 50% N through green manure resulted in an overall average higher increase of 1.5% system productivity under both excess (>750 mm) and deficit (
