Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient for plant growth and is the most commonly used fertilizer in agriculture, but only about 50% of applied N is effectively used by crops.
- Excess nitrogen is lost through processes like volatilization, runoff, leaching, and denitrification, which harms the environment and reduces farmers' returns.
- Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) through better management practices and technological advancements is essential for reducing environmental impacts and meeting agricultural demands sustainably.
