Fertilizers play an essential role in increasing crop yield, maintaining soil fertility, and
provide a steady supply of nutrients for plant requirements. The excessive use of …

In the face of climate change, improving the efficacy of applied nitrogen (N) with a low
environmental footprint is crucial for feeding hungry stomachs and making production …

Nitrogen (N) losses are prevalent under South East Asia's due to high N fertilizer inputs, but
low N fertilizer use efficiency. This leaves a large quantity of reactive N at risk of loss to the …

The efficiency of nitrogenous fertilizers in South Asia is on a declining trajectory due to
increased losses. Biochar (BC) and slow-releasing nitrogen fertilizers (SRNF) have been …

Sunflower plants need nitrogen consistently and in higher amount for optimum growth and
development. However, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of sunflower crop is low due to …

Water scarcity constrains global cotton production. However, partial root-zone drying (PRD)
and mulching can be used as good techniques to save water and enhance crop production …

Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant nutrient, therefore, N-deficient soils affect plant growth and
development. The excessive and unwise application of N fertilizers result in nutrient losses …

Traditional nitrogen fertilizers (TNF), such as urea, percolate easily in arid fields, posing low
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and a high non-point pollution risk. Controlled-release …

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a sucrose-rich tap root crop, with its fresh root containing up
to 20% sucrose contents. Natural organic fertilizers can be a good alternative to synthetic …
