Controlled-release urea (CRU) has been shown to improve nitrogen use efficiencies (NUEs)
and yields in wheat and maize crops, although high cost has limited its use. From October …

Enhanced‐efficiency N fertilizers (EENFs) have potential for mitigating N2O emissions from
N‐fertilized crop** systems. Stabilized EENFs contain nitrification and/or urease inhibitors …

Even though blending controlled-release urea (CRU) with and common urea (CU) has been
shown as an effective strategy to improve grain yield and N use efficiency in wheat …

Urea has served as the primary nitrogenous fertilizer globally since the early 1950s. It is
widely recognized as the most concentrated nitrogen source, containing approximately 46 …

In China, the abuse of chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer results in decreasing N use efficiency
(NUE), wasting resources and causing serious environmental problems. Cereal-legume …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two significant macronutrients for the growth and
development of the plant. These two nutrients represent the highest percentage of fertilizer …

Continued population growth and the corresponding increase in consumption will mean
increases in the global demand for food crops, especially maize, which is used as a food …

A staple food for more than half of the world's population, rice is the third most important
cereal crop after wheat and corn. This book brings together a wealth of information on the …
