Fertilizers have become an essential part of our global food supply chain and are necessary
to sustain our growing population. However, fertilizers can also contribute to greenhouse …

The dynamics and transformations of micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, B and Mo) in soils, are
governed by various factors like pH, EC, soil organic matter etc. Soil organic matter (SOM) is …

Increased incidence of abiotic stresses impacting adversely plant growth and productivity in
major crops is being witnessed all over the world. Therefore, as a result of such stress …

Biochar application in agricultural soils can be highly beneficial to plant productivity.
However, how plant productivity response (PPR)[% change of plant yield from control …

There is global interest in understanding the prospects for biochar application to agricultural
soils. If biochar enhances the availability of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to crops, this …

Sustainable agricultural management implies optimization of resources for crop production
while minimizing adverse impacts on the environment. This requires a better understanding …

In agricultural soils, plant-available nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) may be inadequate for
crop production although total N and P concentrations are high. Therefore, N and/or P …

Broadacre (arable) crops generally require a relatively higher nutrient input toward yield
targets. The efficient use of nutrients in arable farmlands is very vital to this endeavor. It …

Drought is one of the major constraints limiting crop production worldwide. Crop growth
models predict that this issue will be more severe in future. Drought impairs normal growth …

Fertilisers are one of the most important elements of modern agriculture. The application of
fertilisers in agricultural practices has markedly increased the production of food, feed, fuel …
