This publication examines key topics relating to plant nutrition with special reference to integrated nutrient management for crop production, including present and future demand for plant nutrients, soil fertility and crop production, management of plant nutrients and their sources, nutrient management guidelines for major field crops, economic and policy issues, food quality and consumer health, and environmental issues.

Download or read book Integrated Nutrient Management Practices for Soil Health Need of Hour written by Sunil Kumar and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive agriculture system, while increasing food grain production, has caused second-generation problems concerning nutrient imbalance. Some, other problems like greater mining of nutrients from the soil, soil fertility depletion, emerging multiple nutrient deficiencies, secondary and micronutrients, fall of the water table and deteriorate water quality, decline organic carbon and an overall deterioration in soil health. In INM, crop yields can be increased while minimizing nutrient losses to the environment by managing nutrient supply in the root zone within a reasonable range, Soil physico-chemical and biological properties are closely related with SOC and OM, thus, any soil management practices that enhance soil organic matter, microbial biomass and soil health, for this, combined use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources might be the right proposition for these soils, primarily for the improvement of soil health.. The research main motive was to find out the best-integrated practice which can be used to find out the best INM practice that can help to overcome this problem.

Download or read book Nutrient Disequilibria in Agroecosystems written by E. M. A. Smaling and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutrient imbalances have a substantial impact on the productivity and sustainability of agroecosystems worldwide. Fertilizer and manure use, atmospheric deposition, international transportation of produce, solute and gas emissions and soil erosion have all contributed to deficits and surpluses, which in some areas have reached alarming proportions. This book describes and explores the latest concepts of the causes of nutrient imbalances, including the importance of different spatial scales, and examines ways to quantify and manage nutrient stocks, the increasing amount of legislation and the urgent need for the development of integrated nutrient management technologies. Nutrient Disequilibria in Agroecosystemsalso includes case studies, from fish farms in eastern Asia to nutrient flow monitoring in Kenyan tea/maize farms, the dairy sector in New Zealand and ecological farming in Switzerland, the future for global-level research in soil fertility management and nutrient flow analysis. This title should enhance research and the adoption of (inter)national policies on soil fertility maintenance with its global, multi-scale, multi-disciplinary approach.

Download or read book Fertilizer Application on Crop Yield written by Jagadish Timsina and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fertilizer application can increase crop yields and improve global food security, and thus has the potential to eliminate hunger and poverty. However, excessive amounts of fertilizer application can contribute to groundwater pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, eutrophication, deposition and disruptions to natural ecosystems, and soil acidification over time. Small farmers in many countries think inorganic fertilizers are expensive and degrade soils, and thus policymakers want to promote organic instead of inorganic fertilizers. To develop practical fertilizer recommendations for farmers, yield responses to applied fertilizers from inorganic and organic sources, indigenous nutrient supply from soil, and nutrient use efficiency require consideration. There is a lack of sufficient scientific understanding regarding the need and benefit of integrated nutrient management (i.e., judicious use of inorganic and organic sources of nutrients) to meet the nutrient demand of high-yielding crops, increase yields and profits, and reduce soil and environmental degradation. Inadequate knowledge has constrained efforts to develop precision nutrient management recommendations that aim to rationalize input costs, increase yields and profits, and reduce environmental externalities. This Special Issue of the journal provided some evidence of the usefulness of integrated nutrient management to sustain soil resources and supply nutrients to crops grown with major cereal and legume crops in some developing countries.
