Together the findings suggest a broader spectrum of N use among the studied crop and wild species than previously recognised and question the assumed efficient use of nitrate in sugarcane crop systems.
The purpose was to provide better juice for the armed forces and make more efficient use of Florida's orange crop.
This paper illustrates the usefulness of these sensors, by elaborating on a new fertigation strategy in greenhouses aiming at less pollution, more efficient use of fertilisers and eventually, crop quality control.
Diversification seems to be the most promising poverty reduction strategy, but requires an efficient use of animal manure in cropping systems to avoid environmental problems.
Combining sustainability with intensification is not a contradiction and is, in fact, essential; sustainability requires the efficient use of all inputs in cropping, and husbandry of the soil and agricultural biodiversity needed to continue to raise productivity.
We invest £450 million every year to uphold it but we are not complacent which is why our £160 million Agri-Tech Strategy is investing in developing new resilient varieties of crops, more efficient use of water and a world class centre of agricultural innovation.
The symbiotic relationship between these three crops makes efficient use of farmland, regulates moisture and sunlight, and eliminates the need for fertilizers and pesticides.
Developing crop plants with enhanced photosynthesis will improve crop yield and make efficient use of resources in a sustainable manner.
Combining cisgenic approaches with new genome editing techniques could enable more efficient use of genetic resources and possibly more precise crop breeding.
This growing demand can be satisfied by extending cropland and pastures into new areas, thereby replacing natural ecosystems, and/or by improving productivity of existing cultivated land through an increasing or more efficient use of inputs, improvement of agronomic practices and crop varieties, etc.
