Flooded rice systems emit both methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Elevated CH4
emissions in rice systems can lead to a high global warming potential (GWP) relative to …

This chapter provides information on some recent developments of fertilizer production and
use that improve nutrient efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The nutrients …

Nitrogen is deficient in most soils and is applied in the greatest quantities of all nutrients.
Given its high potential for loss, efficient fertilizer N management has both economic and …

The effects of a controlled release urea (CRU) on concentration of N in root zones, activities
of N metabolism enzymes in leaves, and N use efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grown on a …

A greater energy grant in diesel-fed machinery driven farming substantiate the higher GHGs
emission along with improper input (fertilizer, pesticide and irrigation) use and intensive soil …

Biochar has been used to address several environmental problems and may be efficacious
as a carrier of N‐fertilizer in slow‐release N‐fertilizer (SRF) formulations. Our objective was …

Introducing specific microorganisms into the soil ecological system is an important strategy
for improving nutrient use efficiency. Two pot experiments were conducted in the …

To avoid the negative impact of excessive fertilization on vegetable production, a decreased
fertilization experiment was conducted in a multi-layer covered plastic greenhouse in 2017 …

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate
source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are varied and …

Optimisation of N fertilisation is a central issue and goal of applied research in agricultural
systems. Site-specific management techniques are needed in order to closely match …
