4 rs of nutrient stewardship A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Extension KPK/Visiting Professor the University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan
This document discusses ways to improve fertilizer use efficiency. It explains that fertilizer recommendations are based on soil tests to determine nutrient needs. Efficiency is maximized by selecting the right fertilizer type, applying at the right time and rate based on soil and crop factors. Key losses include leaching, gaseous losses through processes like denitrification, and immobilization through chemical reactions or microbial activity. The document provides strategies to minimize each loss type such as fertilizer placement, addition of nitrification inhibitors, and selecting fertilizers suited to the soil properties.
Integrated nutrient management is an approach to optimize soil fertility and plant nutrition by using all possible sources of plant nutrients (organic and inorganic) in a balanced and efficient manner. The goals are to optimize plant production and profitability while conserving resources and improving soil quality. In conventional farming, emphasis was placed on chemical fertilizers and high yields, but this caused nutrient depletion and deterioration of soil health over time. Integrated nutrient management balances nutrient supply from organic sources like farmyard manure with inorganic fertilizers, and synchronizes nutrient availability with crop demand to maintain long-term productivity and soil function.
Fertilizer use efficiency depends on many factors related to the soil, climate, crop, and fertilizer characteristics. Only a fraction of the nutrients in fertilizer may be absorbed by crops, with the rest lost through leaching, volatilization, immobilization, or interactions between fertilizers. Maximum efficiency is obtained when the minimum amount of fertilizer needed is applied based on soil testing. Efficiency varies depending on soil properties like texture, pH, temperature, and moisture as well as the fertilizer type and application method used.
1. The document discusses nutrient use efficiency and factors that affect it, such as leaching, gaseous losses, immobilization, and chemical reactions between fertilizer components.
2. It describes methods of increasing fertilizer use efficiency, including applying fertilizers at the right time and quantity, and using the proper fertilizer source and form for different crops to minimize fixation and maximize availability.
3. Integrated nutrient management is defined as maintaining soil fertility and nutrient supply through optimizing organic, inorganic, and biological components to provide balanced nutrition for crops while sustaining soil quality.
Balanced fertilizer use refers to application of essential plant nutrients in optimum quantities and in right proportional through appropriate method and time of application suited for a specific crop and agronomic situation.
Aims of Balanced Fertilization:
a) Increasing crop yield,
b) Improving quality of the produce ,
c) Increasing farm income,

Site Specific nutrient Management for Precision Agriculture - Anjali Patel (I...Rahul Raj Tandon
Dr. V. N. Mishra is the course teacher and Anjali Patel is the speaker. The presentation discusses site specific nutrient management (SSNM), which aims to optimize nutrient supply according to differences in soil-plant systems for a particular crop in a given season. SSNM involves assessing indigenous nutrient supply from soil and crop residues, determining crop demand based on yield goals, and applying fertilizers based on those factors. Precision tools like GPS, GIS, remote sensing, and variable-rate technology help implement SSNM.
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants that exists in soil in various organic and inorganic forms. The processes of mineralization and immobilization control nitrogen availability. Mineralization converts organic nitrogen into plant-available inorganic forms like ammonium and nitrate through aminization, ammonification, and nitrification carried out by soil microbes. Immobilization occurs when carbon-rich residues cause microbes to use inorganic nitrogen, decreasing availability for plants. Maintaining a proper carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in soil is important to promote nitrogen mineralization while avoiding immobilization.

Immobilization occurs when carbon-rich residues cause microbes to use inorganic nitrogen, decreasing availability for plants. Maintaining a proper carbon-to-nitrogen ratio in soil is important to promote nitrogen mineralization while avoiding immobilization.
Nitrogen use efficiency is often low for crops, ranging from 30-50% due to nitrogen losses through mechanisms like ammonia volatilization, nitrate leaching, and denitrification. Methods to improve nitrogen use efficiency include proper fertilizer, soil, and crop management practices as well as modifying fertilizers. Slow release fertilizers, urease inhibitors, and nitrification inhibitors can be used to coat or add chemicals to fertilizers to reduce nitrogen losses and allow for more efficient nitrogen uptake by crops.
This document discusses soil test crop response (STCR) studies. STCR studies determine the quantitative relationship between soil test values, crop yields, and fertilizer rates. The objectives are to study crop yield responses to soil nutrients, derive yield targeting equations, evaluate soil test methods, and determine how organic matter affects fertilizer needs. Targeted yield approaches estimate nutrient requirements for a given yield goal. STCR provides relationships between soil tests, crop yields, and allows precision in fertilizer doses based on soil conditions. Methods include gradient and test crop experiments. Yield targeting equations are meant for specific soil and climate conditions. STCR can help with precision agriculture by creating nutrient maps loaded into variable-rate fertilizer spreaders.
Soil, plant and meteorological factors determining water needs of cropsKhileshKumarsahu
Khilesh Kumar Sahu presented on factors determining water needs of crops. Evapotranspiration is the combined water loss from soil and plant surfaces through evaporation and transpiration. It is influenced by climatic factors like temperature, humidity, solar radiation and wind speed. Crop characteristics like crop type, leaf area, and root depth also impact water needs. Properly understanding evapotranspiration allows farmers to effectively schedule irrigation and maximize crop water utilization.

Organic agriculture is a practice that does not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators or GMOs. It promotes biodiversity and the health of soil, plants, animals and people. Nutrient management in organic farming relies on practices like crop rotation, cover cropping, adding compost or manure, green manures, crop residues, and approved amendments to optimize soil health and nutrient supply. Maintaining soil organic matter and biological activity through these practices is the foundation of organic agriculture.
The document discusses the Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) method for interpreting plant tissue analysis. DRIS considers nutrient concentration ratios rather than individual elements. It measures the relative balance between nutrients using index values, with negative values indicating deficiencies. DRIS can reveal both the limiting nutrient and the order nutrients may become limiting. It identifies all nutritional factors limiting crop production to improve fertilizer recommendations and maximize yields.
Dry farming refers to cultivation in areas receiving less than 750mm of rainfall annually. It is practiced in arid regions where moisture conservation is important. Dry land farming receives between 750mm-1150mm annually and is practiced in semi-arid regions. Rainfed farming receives over 1150mm and is practiced in humid regions where drainage is a bigger problem than moisture shortage. Dry farming crops must be drought resistant and complete their lifecycle without irrigation, while dry land farming can include intercropping and rainfed farming double cropping. Problems of dry farming in India include moisture stress, ineffective rainwater storage, low soil fertility and uneven rainfall distribution.
Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a critically important concept in the evaluation of crop production systems. Many agricultural soils of the world are deficient in one or more of the essential nutrients to support healthy and productive plant growth. Efficiency can be defined in many ways and easily increased food production could be achieved by expanding the land area under crops and by increasing yields per unit area through intensive farming. Environmental nutrient use efficiency can be quite different than agronomic or economic efficiency and maximizing efficiency may not always be effective. Worldwide, elemental deficiencies for essential macro and micro nutrients and toxicities by Al, Mn, Fe, S, B, Cu, Mo, Cr, Cl, Na, and Si have been reported.
Unit 1 lecture-1 soil fertility and soil productivityLuxmiKantTripathi
The document discusses the concepts of soil fertility and productivity, outlining key factors that affect each such as parent material, climate, organic matter and crop management practices. It also reviews the history of understanding soil fertility from ancient Greek and Roman scholars to modern scientists who established theories of plant nutrition and developed agricultural experiments. The overall goal is for students to understand essential plant nutrients and their roles in agriculture and crop production.
This document discusses methods for evaluating soil fertility, including deficiency symptoms, tissue analysis, and biological tests. Tissue analysis involves extracting plant parts with reagents and comparing nutrient concentrations to standards. It is a quick way to monitor nutrient levels at different growth stages. Biological tests use microorganisms to quantify a soil's ability to supply nutrients and are simple and require little space. Together, these methods help identify limiting nutrients and inform fertilization practices to maintain optimal nutrient levels.
This document discusses nitrogen use efficiency in crops. It begins by noting that nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for crop production but is often lost from soils through processes like leaching, denitrification, volatilization, erosion and runoff. Common nitrogen use efficiencies are 30-50%. The document then examines factors influencing nitrogen use efficiency like management practices, environmental conditions and crop characteristics. It concludes by outlining techniques to improve efficiency such as the 4R nutrient stewardship approach of using the right source, right rate, right time and right place of application as well as enhanced efficiency fertilizers.
This document presents a summary of several classical theories on plant growth response to nutrients:
1) Liebig's Law of the Minimum states that plant growth is limited by the scarcest nutrient.
2) Blackman's Law of the Limiting Factor states that the growth rate is determined by the slowest acting growth factor.
3) Willcox's Theory of the Nitrogen Constant found plants absorb about 318 lbs of nitrogen per acre at optimum conditions.
4) Spillman's Equation models the relationship between growth amount, maximum possible yield, growth factor quantity, and a constant.
5) Baule Unit defines the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium needed to produce 50% of maximum possible
Integrated nutrient management is the balanced use of mineral fertilizers, organic sources, and biological sources to maintain soil productivity and improve nutrient levels. It aims to improve nutrient efficiency while limiting losses to the environment. The four components of integrated nutrient management are soil sources, organic sources like manure, biological sources like inoculants, and mineral fertilizers. An important part of integrated nutrient management is a nutrient management plan that analyzes each field to improve nutrient efficiency for crops.
Soil water plays an important role in regulating nutrient uptake by plants. The level of soil moisture directly influences how much nutrients are absorbed. Most nutrients are readily taken up by plants when they are dissolved in the soil solution. In submerged soils, certain nutrients like iron and manganese become more available due to reduction, while others like zinc and copper decrease due to precipitation. Overall, sufficient soil moisture is necessary for optimal nutrient availability and absorption by plant roots.
1) Integrated nutrient management is the combined use of organic, inorganic and biological sources of nutrients to maintain soil fertility and ensure optimal plant growth.
2) It aims to optimize crop yields while preserving soil health and minimizing environmental impacts.
3) INM is important because it can improve soil properties and nutrient use efficiency compared to chemical fertilizers alone, while also providing locally sourced and cheaper alternatives to address rising input costs.

This document discusses soil fertility evaluation in India. It provides key landmarks in soil testing research from 1953-1980s. It describes various approaches used for soil testing and fertility evaluation including soil testing, plant analysis, biological tests, and soil test crop response correlation. The goal of soil fertility evaluation is to precisely predict fertilizer requirements for crops through calibration of soil test methods and establishing critical limits.
4R nutrient stewardship provides a framework to achieve cropping system goals – increased production, increased farmer profitability, enhanced environmental protection, and improved sustainability. To achieve those goals the 4Rs utilize fertilizer best management practices that address the Right Fertilizer Source, at the Right Application Rate, the Right Time for the plant to utilize the nutrients, and in the Right Place for optimal crop uptake. The four “rights” are necessary for sustainable plant nutrition management. The assessment of any planned nutrient management practice must consider the economic, social, and environmental effects to determine whether or not it is a “right” practice for that system.
Selecting The Ideal Strategy For Fertilizer QualityNAQ Global
There are several ways to assess fertilizer quality, but the one you choose should take into account your crop's needs, soil composition, and climate. When you are looking for fertilizer coating material suppliers, make sure you keep a few points in mind. It is important to keep the following variables in mind to make an informed choice.

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Solanaceous F...SwagatBehera9
In recent times, the concept of integrated nutrient management (INM) system or integrated plant nutrient supply (IPNS) has been receiving increasing attention worldwide. The main principle of INM is to maximize the use of organic inputs while minimizing nutrient losses and to make supplementary use of chemical fertilizers. Good practices for INM often involve a combination of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients. Solanaceous vegetables (tomato, eggplant, hot and bell peppers) require large quantities of nutrients to yield well. The majority of the nutrients in fruits are absorbed after flowering occurs. Because vegetative and reproductive stages overlap in these crops and because the plants need nutrients even up to fruit ripening, fertigation, split application of fertilizers, slow-release N fertilizers and integrated use of inorganic and organic nutrient sources promote nutrient use efficiency and crop productivity.

4 rs of nutrient stewardship A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Extension KPK/Visiting Professor the University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan
6. 4Rs stewardship
4R nutrient stewardship provides a framework to achieve
cropping system goals, such as increased production,
increased farmer profitability, enhanced environmental
protection and improved sustainability.
To achieve those goals, the 4R concept incorporates the:
Right fertilizer source at the
Right rate, at the
Right time and in the
Right place
7. 4R nutrient stewardship requires the
implementation of best management practices
(BMPs) that optimize the efficiency of fertilizer use.
The goal of fertilizer BMPs is to match nutrient
supply with crop requirements and to minimize
nutrient losses from fields. Selection of BMPs varies
by location, and those chosen for a given farm are
dependent on local soil and climatic conditions, crop,
management conditions and other site specific
factors.
8. THE 4R MISSION
Fertilizer is a component of sustainable crop production
systems, and the fertilizer industry recognizes the need to
efficiently utilize these nutrients. This site provides
science-based information for stakeholders to utilize for
education, advocacy, and implementation of crop
nutrient stewardship. It provides information on
fertilizer best management practices that benefit the
environment and the producer’s bottom line. The site is a
collaborative effort of the fertilizer industry.
