Precision Nutrient Management: Innovative Technological Approaches

The human population worldwide is growing at an alarming rate over the last several decades, growing at an unprecedented rate that has never been observed in the history of mankind with great demand for food, therefore, food security has become a matter of great concern to the world. Higher food production from small land area with natural resource preservation requires precise and efficient farming. The issue of biased nutrient utilization, environmental damage and cost of production due to blanket application of fertilizers under conventional farming practice have been widely reported. Therefore, precision nutrient management is a promising approach in which new technologies are included to fit the nutrient management strategy.
