Summary
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research on precision fertilization and nutrient use efficiency in crops, addressing critical challenges in sustainable nutrient management. Our scope covers innovative approaches, technologies, and strategies to enhance nutrient uptake, reduce environmental impact, and improve crop productivity. We welcome contributions that advance scientific understanding and provide practical solutions for optimizing fertilization practices in modern agriculture.
Suggested Themes:
· Precision nutrient management:Site-specific fertilization techniques for improved efficiency; remote sensing and AI applications in nutrient monitoring.
· Soil-plant interactions and nutrient uptake: Mechanisms of nutrient absorption and utilization; microbial contributions to soil fertility and plant nutrition.
· Advanced fertilization strategies:Development of controlled-release fertilizers and biofertilizers; organic and sustainable fertilization practices.
· Environmental sustainability in fertilization: Strategies to reduce nutrient leaching and greenhouse gas emissions; circular economy approaches in nutrient recycling.
· Crop-specific nutrient optimization:Tailored fertilization strategies for different crops and agroecosystems; impact of nutrient balance on yield and quality.
· Smart agriculture and digital technologies: IoT and sensor-based monitoring for precision fertilization; decision support systems for optimized nutrient application.
· Economic and policy perspectives: Cost-benefit analysis of precision fertilization technologies; policy frameworks and incentives for sustainable nutrient management.
