In the last 60 years fertiliser use in agriculture has increased by
900%. However, it’s been reported that up to 80% of these
fertilisers are not utilised by crops but are lost to the
environment as nitrous oxide, ammonia and nitrate. Improving
nitrogen use efficiency is recognised as one possible solution to
reducing the sector’s environmental impact and optimising its
productivity and sustainability in the face of increasing pressure
to feed a growing population. Improving nitrogen use efficiency in
crop production reviews recent advances in understanding nitrogen
cycling in soil and best practices to assess crop nitrogen status,
such as the use of proximal sensors and remote sensing techniques.
The book considers developments in the use of inorganic nitrogen
fertilisers and their effectiveness in optimising nitrogen use
efficiency, as well as how more organic sources of nitrogen, such
as livestock manure, can be optimised to achieve the same goal.
