Book Description
This report presents the world nitrogen, phosphate and potassium fertilizer medium-term supply and demand projections for the period 2014-2018. The FAO/Fertilizer Organizations Working Group met in Nairobi, Kenya, in June 2014 to review the prospects for fertilizer demand and supply, and prepared the forecasts. The African Fertilizer and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP) and the Fertilizer Association of Southern Africa (FERTASA) provided special regional contributions and presentations.

Nitrogen in Agriculture
Author: Takuji Ohyama
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1839684887
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Nitrogen is the most important nutrient in agricultural practice because the availability of nitrogen from the soil is generally not enough to support crop yields. To maintain soil fertility, the application of organic matters and crop rotation have been practiced. Farmers can use convenient chemical nitrogen fertilizers to obtain high crop yields. However, the inappropriate use of nitrogen fertilizers causes environmental problems such as nitrate leaching, contamination in groundwater, and the emission of N2O gas. This book is divided into the following four sections: “Ecology and Environmental Aspects of Nitrogen in Agriculture”, “Nitrogen Fertilizers and Nitrogen Management in Agriculture”, “N Utilization and Metabolism in Crops”, “Plant-Microbe Interactions”.

Principles of Plant-Microbe Interactions

ISBN: 3319085751
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
The use of microbial plant protection products is growing and their importance will strongly increase due to political and public pressure. World population is growing and the amount of food needed by 2050 will be double of what is produced now whereas the area of agricultural land is decreasing. We must increase crop yield in a sustainable way. Chemical plant growth promoters must be replaced by microbiological products. Also here, the use of microbial products is growing and their importance will strongly increase. A growing area of agricultural land is salinated. Global warming will increase this process. Plants growth is inhibited by salt or even made impossible and farmers tend to disuse the most salinated lands. Microbes have been very successfully used to alleviate salt stress of plants. Chemical pollution of land can make plant growth difficult and crops grown are often polluted and not suitable for consumption. Microbes have been used to degrade these chemical pollutants.
