Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fertilizers and their technologies are essential inputs to support crop growth and maintain global food production. Conversely, overuse of fertilizers can lead to environmental problems, such as water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, while also being costly for farmers. Best management practices (BMPs) for the sustainable and efficient use of fertilizers to maintain high crop yields and quality and to mitigate potential environmental issues are in an important scope of science. Several BMPs have been proposed to increase fertilizer use efficiency (FUE), including nutrient management planning, appropriate fertilizer application timing and rate, soil health management practices, precision fertilization, use of new fertilizer technologies and tools for monitoring soil and crop health, crop rotation, cover cropping, conservation tillage, agroforestry and intercropping, recycling nutrients and byproduct application, agricultural bioinputs, and other sustainable farming practices. Considering the rapid advance of new discoveries regarding the challenges and opportunities for improvements in the FUE in food production, soil quality, and climate change, we have created this Special Issue. We kindly invite authors to submit original research or systematic reviews that address sustainable technologies and fertilization strategies to improve FUE in agriculture and promote healthier soil, food security, and environmental quality.
