Sulphur plays crucial roles in plant growth and development, with its functions ranging from
being a structural constituent of macro-biomolecules to modulating several physiological …

Reduction in soil fertility and depletion of natural resources due to current intensive
agricultural practices along with climate changes are the major constraints for crop …

The efficiency with which plants use nutrients to create biomass and/or grain is determined
by the interaction of environmental and plant intrinsic factors. The major macronutrients …

Low fertilizer application rates for several decades have depleted soil nutrients in Sub-
Saharan Africa (SSA) and contributed to relatively stagnant maize (Zea mays L.) yields. As …

Plant nutrition takes care of the interrelationship between soil nutrients and plant growth.
The role of nutrients in plant growth and physiology is dealt in this chapter in its maximum …

Macronutrients play a very important role in plant growth and development. Their functions
range from being structural units to redox-sensitive agents. Generally, application of …

Grain protein concentration and composition are key factors affecting winter wheat quality
and are influenced by wheat genotype, available fertility, and growing conditions. These …

Nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) critical dilution curves and the N: S stoichiometry are useful tools
for evaluating nutrient status in maize (Zea mays L.). Nutrient supply for both N and S impact …

Secondary nutrient (eg, calcium, magnesium, sulfur) deficiencies in crop plants disturb the
nitrogen balance in the plants, thus reducing the overall yield. This hypothesis was analyzed …

In Ethiopian highlands, land use changes, mainly, from natural vegetation to cultivated lands
brought about rapid nutrient depletion. Intensive and continuous cultivation of land without …
