Agriculture faces the pressing challenge of feeding a growing population while preserving
the environment and natural resources. Nitrogen (N) is an essential nutrient for plant growth …

In Nepal, blanket fertilizer recommendations without considering diverse soil types, nutrient
status, climate and crop management practices along with imbalanced fertilization practices …

Overuse of chemical fertilizers in agroecosystems leads to the increased economic burden,
low crop production in terms of input and environmental pollution. Due to its improved …

The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of maize is usually below 60%. Considering future food
supply and climate change, selective breeding of maize with high nitrogen (N)-efficient …

Soil salinization has increased over recent years and is negatively affecting crop
productivity. Nutrient application is an effective strategy to improve abiotic stress tolerance in …

Current agricultural production systems face challenges of poor economic returns, soil
fatigue and negative environmental outcomes from excess use of nitrogenous fertilizers …

ABSTRACT A lack of synchronization between nitrogen (N) demand and supply results in
the loss of applied nitrogen from the soil-plant system. Leaf colour chart (LCC) based nano …

Nitrogen and phosphorus are the two most important macronutrients, often limiting crop
production. Their responses to diverse integrated soil fertility technologies are still poorly …

Objective To explore the improvement of water use efficiency (WUE), dry matter
accumulation (DMA), nitrogen absorption and utilization and maize yield under the two …

Broad based blanket recommendations of fertilizer nitrogen (N) in field may end up with
lower N use efficiency because of large field-to field variability of soil N. At the identical time …
