The use of controlled-release fertilizers (CRFs) starts to evolve as a promising direction offering an excellent means to improve management of nutrient application and by this reducing significantly environmental threats while maintaining high crop yields of good quality.
This review discusses how recent advances in understanding the role of plant nutrients and their interactions and the management of nutrient solution composition, including the addition of non-essential elements, micronutrients' biofortification, biostimulants, together with the control of some crucial environmental conditions, like temperature, can help accomplishing this task.
STAMP2 (Six- trans-membrane protein of prostate 2) has recently been detected in adipose tissue, a key organ in the management of nutrient excesses, and is also expressed in the heart, liver, lung and platelets [ 120].
Detailed digital soil maps showing the spatial heterogeneity of soil properties consistent with the landscape are required for site-specific management of plant nutrients, land use planning and process-based environmental modeling.
This means better management of plant nutrients will increase the production as well as improve the nutritional status of the produces.
One of the main challenges when performing agricultural operations in these soils is soil phosphorus (P) status, due to the low levels and difficult management of this nutrient in highly weathered soils.
The management of P nutrient to improve yam production in north south and southeast of Nigeria is generalized at regional scale, given the weak spatial dependence observed for this nutrient.
Ecological sanitation (EcoSan) concepts, relying on an environmentally sound management of water, nutrient and energy fluxes, have been poorly characterized in literature and are widely ignored by public planning authorities, architects or engineers.
The model was used to simulate several scenarios affecting nitrogen flows and stocks to assess the impact of a) the level of local wheat production, b) the selection of energy generation technology, and c) the management of available nutrient resources (digestate and straws).
Remote sensing (RS) can facilitate the management of water and nutrients in irrigated cropping systems.
