In-field Nutrient Availablity and Balances, and Potential Implications on Management Systems to Reduce Losses
نویسنده
چکیده
Right now it is not clear how other cost and benefit factors such as production economics, sustainability and carbon sequestration, and grain quality will be taken into account in the development of the criteria. Because of current water use impairments, and the expectation that the criteria, when developed and implemented, will add to the list of impairments, there is an immediate and continuing need to reduce nutrient losses from agricultural lands.

Nutrient balances for cassava cultivation in Kampong Cham province in Northeast Cambodia
In Cambodia, cassava is mostly grown with little or no fertilizer inputs, but the magnitudes of nutrient balances are not known. This study was conducted to assess nutrient balances for cassava cultivation in Kampong Cham province in Northeast Cambodia. Forty five households in four cassava production zones were interviewed in relation to their cultural practices and crop residue management...
متن کاملManaging legume leys, residues and fertilisers to enhance the sustainability of wheat cropping systems in Australia 1. The effects on wheat yields and nutrient balances
Farming activities practiced on many Australian soils have resulted in substantial losses of soil organic matter (SOM), nutrient loss, soil structural degradation and declines in cereal yield and quality. Field trials, consisting of a legume or fallow phase followed by three wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crops, were established on a degraded Ferric Luvisol (Red Earth) soil in New South Wales to ...
