ABSTRACT Upland rice productivity is still low because farmers still grow upland rice with poor care. Most upland rice is cultivated on marginal soils such as Ultisol. This soil contains low available P due to P fixation by Al and Fe. There are upland rice varieties that can compensate for the high Al content in Ultisol soils and neutralize Al in plants. The constraint of the lack of availabil…
