This collection reviews current research on understanding nutrient
cycles, the ways crops process nutrients, the environmental effects
of fertilizer use and how this understanding can be used to improve
nutrient use efficiency for a more resource-efficient and
climate-smart agriculture. Parts 1-3 summarise research on the
primary macronutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
Chapters review what we know about nutrient cycles, crop nutrient
processing, potential environmental effects and ways of optimising
nutrient use efficiency (NUE). The fourth section of the book
discusses secondary macronutrients and micronutrients including:
calcium, iron, zinc, boron, manganese and molybdenum as well as
soil organic matter. The final part of the book reviews research on
optimising fertiliser use. Chapters cover topics such as assessing
nutrient availability and advances in integrated plant nutrient
management. Other chapters discuss enhanced efficiency fertilisers,
the use of bio-effectors/bio-stimulants, fertigation techniques,
foliar fertilizers and the use of treated wastes in crop nutrition.
