Contemporary Nutrient Management

Abstract

Conventional nutrient management strategies have often been associated with environmental degradation, soil depletion, and water pollution. As a countermeasure, researchers are looking at other methods like precision agriculture, organic farming, bio-fertilizers, and crop rotation. We evaluate each approach based on their potential to make nutrient use more efficient, help decrease chemical inputs, reduce environmental impacts, and enhance soil health and productivity in the long run. It is high time to explore the socioeconomic insights and constraints for the adoption of these alternative progressive strategies on the ground for diversification of the farming systems. This chapter focuses on the need for comprehensive and ecologically sustainable nutrient management practices and application approaches as well as investigating alternative nutrient management strategies that look for innovative and sustainable solutions to contemporary agricultural problems. © 2026 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
