The great challenges of ensuring global food security and reducing environmental risk
caused by excessive fertilizer inputs require optimizing fertilizer rates to maintain crop …

Sandy areas in the northern China are the primary regions for potato production, but limited
water resources and low water/fertilizer use efficiency limit the sustainable development of …

Potato is a staple food crop in the agro-pastoral ecotone (APE) of North China. However, the
potato yield is low and highly variable due to limited water and nutrient availabilities in the …

Potato is the world's fourth-largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize. Unlike other
crops, it is a typical root crop with a special growth cycle pattern and underground tubers …

The analysis of chlorophyll concentration based on spectroscopy has great importance for
monitoring the growth state and guiding the precision nitrogen management of potato crops …

Precision agriculture (PA) involves more precise seeding, fertilizer application, irrigation,
and pesticide use in order to optimize crop production for the purpose of increasing grower …

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is one of the most important winter season
vegetables and a rich source of chemoprotective molecules, including glucosinolates (GSL) …

In this chapter, we discuss the challenges to optimizing nitrogen (N) management in rain-fed
potato production in eastern Canada, and evaluate a series of N fertilization strategies for …

Producing safe food under excessive fertilization strategies is a serious issue; thus, this
study introduced a novel approach combining K-humate and calcium chloride under …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in Florida is largely produced in sandy soils with low water
and nutrient holding capacity, which makes N fertilizer timing and rate key factors for …
