Neuware - Nutrient use efficiency is a measure of how efficiently plants use the available mineral nutrients to produce economic produce. Improving nutrient use efficiency is very much essential under current scenario besides an understanding of the nutrient dynamics in soil-plant system.'Enhancing nutrient use efficiency: Concepts, methods, and management interventions' is a comprehensive book which has a compilation of topics related to enhancement of nutrient use efficiency of various crops and cropping systems. Although it depends on the ability to plants to take up the nutrients from the soil, management practices have a key role to intervene the use efficiency. This book has 27 chapters written by eminent researchers in the field and addresses multifaceted approaches to enhance the nutrient use efficiency. Improving nutrient use efficiency is a prerequisite to reducing production costs in the wake of escalating cost of agricultural inputs in farming besides minimizing environmental contamination. Soil physical management is the foremost strategy to enhance the nutrient use efficiency. Hand held devices are popular among the farmers for nitrogen management in rice in several parts of the country, besides slow release nitrogenous fertilizers. Experiences from Long term fertilizer experiments and soil test crop response correlation are of immense use to understand the nutrient dynamics in soil and in turn designing practices for higher use efficiency.

Riassunto:

Enhancing Nutrient Use Efficiency: Concepts, Methods, and Management Interventions for Crops and Cropping Systems is a comprehensive volume that offers an extensive exploration of topics related to enhancing the nutrient use efficiency of a wide range of crops and cropping systems. Nutrient use efficiency refers to the measure of how effectively plants utilize available mineral nutrients to produce economic yield. Although soil quality plays a crucial role in this process, management practices can also have a significant impact. This book delves into various multifaceted approaches to improve nutrient use efficiency.

The book is designed to provide valuable insights to scientists, farmers, students, and policymakers about holistic approaches to nutrient use efficiency in major crops and cropping systems. Improving nutrient use efficiency is essential for reducing agricultural production costs, given the increasing expenses of agricultural inputs, and for minimizing environmental contamination. Soil physical management is a primary strategy for enhancing nutrient use efficiency, and hand-held devices are commonly used by farmers for nitrogen management in rice in several regions. Long-term fertilizer experiments and Soil Test Crop Response Correlation provide invaluable information about nutrient dynamics in the soil, which can be used to develop practices that lead to higher use efficiency.

In addition to explaining the concepts and methods of nutrient use efficiency, the book also covers management practices for various cropping systems, including dry land crops, cereal-based systems, rainfed pulses, soybean-based systems, sugarcane-based systems, cotton-based systems, tobacco and oilseed-based systems, rapeseed-mustard-based systems, and spice-based systems. This comprehensive resource serves as a valuable guide for enhancing nutrient use efficiency in a wide range of crops and cropping systems.
