Nitrogen Management to Improve Use Efficiency and Crop Yield

Oral Session

S04 Soil Fertility & Plant Nutrition

Nitrogen applied to soils is not fully utilized by crops due to various loss mechanisms and transformations to form unavailable to plants. Information will be presented on improving nitrogen agronomic efficiency.
