A.L. Singh, P.K. Ghosh and Devi Dayal. Nutrient management in crops and cropping systems has assumed greater importance in raising productivity.
Cost effectiveness is an important consideration towards technology adoption.
Emphasis, therefore, now is on developing nutrient management practices that can yield optimum yields. It has been a general practice of applying N,P and K to non-leguminous crops and P or P and K to legumes. However, with changes and adoption of different cropping systems, nutrient management practices have shown a greater variability. A great volume of information is available on nutrient use in different crops. The present book is a compilation of chapters on nutrient management practices to attain optimum maximum yield of a particular crop and crop based cropping systems with a systems approach.
