Abstract
Efforts to improve food security for the growing population adversely affected the environment by excess application of nitrogenous fertilizers in the soil. A standard shift is needed for the efficient use of nitrogenous fertilizers as well as increase in rice production. Nitrogen use efficiency in rice is associated with uptake of nitrogen from the soil, its accumulation and transport inside the plant which is influenced by many factors. A variety of agronomical, physiological and molecular approaches can be used to improve the nitrogen use efficiency. An economical and feasible method could be developed to incorporate by every farmer.
