This review reveals that crop residues of common cultivated crops are an important resource
not only as a source of significant quantities of nutrients for crop production but also affecting …

Owing to the high demand for fertilizer formulations that will exhaust the possibilities of
nutrient use efficiency (NUE), regulate fertilizer consumption, and lessen …

Abstract Knowledge on short‐term and long‐term availability of nitrogen (N) after application
of organic fertilizers (eg, farmyard manure, slurry, sewage sludge, composts) provides an …

Crop residues with high C/N ratio immobilize N released during decomposition in soil, thus
reducing N losses through leaching, denitrification, and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission. A …

Predicting N mineralization from organic manures like farmyard manure (FYM) is more
difficult than from fresh organic materials like crop residues, as the manures vary greatly in …

The extent of nanotechnology has revolutionized almost every aspect of science. Its
application in the field of agriculture is a novel idea and may introduce new aspects to …

Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a leading reference and a first-rate
source for the latest research in agronomy. As always, the subjects covered are varied and …

A range of vegetable crop residues were subjected to a modified Stevenson chemical
fractionation. N mineralization parameters were determined for the fractionated crop residue …

Aims Agricultural soils in semiarid Mediterranean areas are characterized by low organic
matter contents and low fertility levels. Application of crop residues and/or manures as …

A loamy sand was incubated with and without addition of carrot leaves at six different water
contents ranging from 6% to 20%(g 100 g–1 dry soil) and N mineralization was monitored …
