Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Crops for Sustainable Agriculture
In this review, we present the recent developments and future prospects of improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in crops using various complementary approaches. These include conventional breeding and molecular genetics, in addition to alternative farming techniques based on no-till continuous cover cropping cultures and/or organic nitrogen (N) nutrition. Whatever the mode of N fertilization...

found, had they considered N derived from the soil (Keeney, 1982; van der Ploeg et al., 1997). Using the Worldwide, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) for cereal production same references and assumptions in Table 1, cereal (wheat, Triticum aestivum L.; corn, Zea mays L.; rice, Oryza sativa L. and O. glaberrima Steud.; barley, Hordeum vulgare L.; sorghum, NUEs are 42 and 29% in developed and develop...
متن کاملA transgenic approach to enhance phosphorus use efficiency in crops as part of a comprehensive strategy for sustainable agriculture.
Concerns about phosphorus (P) sustainability in agriculture arise not only from the potential of P scarcity but also from the known effects of agricultural P use beyond the field, i.e., eutrophication leading to dead zones in lakes, rivers and coastal oceans due to runoffs from fertilized fields. Plants possess a large number of adaptive responses to P(i) (orthophosphate) limitation that provid...
متن کاملTransgenic Crops: Implications for Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture
The potential for genetically modified (GM) crops to threaten biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture is substantial. Megadiverse countries and centers of origin and/or diversity of crop species are particularly vulnerable regions. The future of sustainable agriculture may be irreversibly jeopardized by contamination of in situ preserved genetic resources threatening a strategic r...
متن کاملmanagement strategies to increase nitrogen use efficiency (nue) in agriculture
use of nitrogen fertilizers has contributed much to the remarkable increase in food production that has occurred during the past 50 years. however, environmental and economic challenges due to nitrogen application in agricultural have increased regard to nitrogen use efficiency (nue). studies conducted around the world shows that only half of nitrogen fertilizer inputs is taken up by crops. unf...
