Description

As the global population continues to grow, the demand for food is expected to double by 2050. Meeting this massive requirement requires significant improvements in crop productivity. This book examines the vital role of nitrogen (N) fertilization in modern agriculture and the challenges associated with current methods. While nitrogen is necessary for plant growth, the production of N fertilizers requires immense amounts of energy. Furthermore, when excess nitrogen is lost through leaching, it leads to the pollution of oceans and waterways. This text addresses these environmental concerns by focusing on the necessity of increasing plant nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). By studying ways to improve how crops utilize nitrogen, researchers and farmers can work toward producing more food while protecting the environment. This volume assembles high-quality work to provide insights into optimizing nitrogen use for a more sustainable future in agriculture.
