Can less yield more? Is reducing nutrient input into the environment compatible with maintaining crop production?

AG Good, AK Shrawat, DG Muench - Trends in plant science, 2004 - cell.com
Plant scientists have long recognized the need to develop crops that absorb and use
nutrients more efficiently. Two approaches have been used to increase nutrient use …

Nitrate: nutrient and signal for plant growth.

NM Crawford - The plant cell, 1995 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
The mineral nutrient needed in greatest abundance by plants is nitrogen. Plants, however,
must compete for nitrogen in the soil with abiotic and biotic processes such as erosion …
