LCC Usage Instructions

LCC USAGE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Instructions:

  • Select only representative plants and match the colour of the leaves with the LCC under the shade of your body.
  • Compare the topmost, fully expanded and healthy leaf of each of the 10 plants with the LCC.
  • Place the middle part of the leaf on top of the LCC's color strips for comparison. Do not detach the leaf. The average of 6 out of 10 leaves is decided as the value of the N fertilizer level of the crop.
  • Take readings at the same time of the day (8-10 AM) or in the afternoon (3-5 PM).
  • Do not expose the LCC to direct sunlight during readings. The same person should take the first reading up to the last reading.
  • The plants selected for matching colour should be normal and free from disease / insect incidence, water logging / stress and other nutrient deficiencies.
  • The time interval for the checking of LCC, dosage of N fertilizer and the type of LCC may differ from crop to crop.

The user has to follow the detailed How to use LCC Instructions / Recommendations / Dosage of N Fertilizer for each crop which will be given in a printed laminated sticker in the local / regional languages along with LCC and also a printed Matt laminated folder with more details from the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the respective Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Institutes / Universities.
