Leaf Color Chart (LCC): A Simple Guide to Nitrogen Management in Rice, Wheat & Maize

The Leaf Color Chart (LCC) is a simple and low-cost tool that helps farmers monitor the nitrogen status in crops such as rice, wheat, and maize. Nitrogen is essential for crop growth, but using too much or too little can harm yield and soil health. By checking the color of leaves against the LCC, farmers can decide whether crops need more nitrogen or already have enough.

📊 What the readings mean:

LCC 2 → The crop is nitrogen-deficient; apply nitrogen immediately.
LCC 3 → Crop needs nitrogen soon, schedule application quickly.
LCC 4 → Only a little nitrogen may be required.
LCC 5 → Plants already have excess nitrogen; avoid further application.

Remember: The right source of nitrogen, at the right time, in the right amount, equals better yields and healthier plants.
