Crops, including cotton, are sensitive to nitrogen (N) and excessive use can lead to an
increase in production costs and environmental problems. We hypothesized that the use of …

The use of natural biostimulants is becoming an attractive option in order to reduce the use
of fertilizer and increase the yield of crops. In particular, algal extracts are suitable …

The combined use of organic manure and chemical fertilizer (CF) is considered to be a good
method for sustaining high crop yields and improving soil quality. We performed a field …

A huge amount of nitrogenous fertilizer is used to increase crop production. This leads to an
increase in the cost of production, and to human and environmental problems. It is therefore …

Abstract Development of crops with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is essential for
sustainable agriculture. However, achieving this goal has proven difficult since NUE is a …
