Book Synopsis Fertilizer Requirements in 2015 and 2030 by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book Fertilizer Requirements in 2015 and 2030 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a joint study involving five organisations from both the public and private sectors. The objective is to explore the future need for fertilizer required to support the Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) projections of agricultural commodity production for 2015 and 2030. The paper begins by briefly reviewing attempts to identify and quantify the factors influencing the growth in demand and supply for agricultural commodities. Several studies that estimate long-term fertlizer use are also reviewed, followed by a discussion of the forecasting methods and data. The results and implications conclude the paper. The study projects growth rates of between 0.7 and 1.3 per cent, depending on assumptions about nutrient efficiency over the next 35 years
Book Synopsis Determinants of chemical fertilizer use in Nepal by : Takeshima, Hiroyuki
Download or read book Determinants of chemical fertilizer use in Nepal written by Takeshima, Hiroyuki and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although overall chemical fertilizer use has grown steadily in Nepal in the past two decades, much of that growth has occurred in the Terai agroecological belt while use has stagnated in the Hills and the Mountains regions. Differences in chemical fertilizer use intensity between the Terai and the latter regions are typically pronounced among medium-to-large-size farmers. Using three rounds of the Nepal Living Standards Survey as well as secondary data, we examine the determinants of inorganic fertilizer (urea and DAP) use, as well as the marginal income returns from fertilizer use at the farm-household level. Similarities in soil and climate between farm locale and Agriculture Research Station locale seem to increase demand for fertilizer—even after controlling for distance to those stations. Most important, demand for chemical fertilizer is affected by the real fertilizer price (particularly since the 2003 NLSS survey), but the price response is relatively weaker in the Hills and Mountains, suggesting that returns to fertilizer may be generally low in those regions, and that reducing fertilizer price through subsidies on fertilizer or transportation may not substantially increase fertilizer use. This is confirmed by assessment of the returns to chemical fertilizer use estimated through generalized propensity score matching and ordinary propensity score matching. The findings cast doubt on the effectiveness of fertilizer subsidies as an instrument for stimulating chemical fertilizer use in Nepal, particularly among medium-to-large-scale farmers in the Hills, and point toward alternative measures like increased research and development into technologies that raise overall returns to chemical fertilizer.

Download or read book Some Factors Affecting Fertilizer Consumption (Classic Reprint) written by Albert Perry Brodell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Factors Affecting Fertilizer Consumption Farmers in th1s country have spent around 200 million dollars annually for commercial fertilizer in recent yearsa This is an average expenditure of about $30 for each farm in the country. However, the bulk of the fertilizer is consumed in the Atlantic Coast States and here individual farmers sometimes spend as much as $30 for fertilizer on a single acre of cropland. The purpose of this report is to show significant trends which have taken place in fertilizer and plant - food consumption, to indicate some of the factors that are responsible for these trends, and to appraise prospects for future fertilizer consumption. Estimates are shown of the proportion of total fert1lizer consumption used by specified crops, and the quantity per acre and cost per ton of fertilizer used on leading crops grown on farms of crop correspondents.

Book Synopsis Nutrient Use Efficiency: from Basics to Advances by : Amitava Rakshit
Download or read book Nutrient Use Efficiency: from Basics to Advances written by Amitava Rakshit and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses in detail multifaceted approaches to boosting nutrient use efficiency (NUE) that are modified by plant interactions with environmental variables and combine physiological, microbial, biotechnological and agronomic aspects. Conveying an in-depth understanding of the topic will spark the development of new cultivars and strains to induce NUE, coupled with best management practices that will immensely benefit agricultural systems, safeguarding their soil, water, and air quality. Written by recognized experts in the field, the book is intended to provide students, scientists and policymakers with essential insights into holistic approaches to NUE, as well as an overview of some successful case studies. In the present understanding of agriculture, NUE represents a question of process optimization in response to the increasing fragility of our natural resources base and threats to food grain security across the globe. Further improving nutrient use efficiency is a prerequisite to reducing production costs, expanding crop acreage into non-competitive marginal lands with low nutrient resources, and preventing environmental contamination. The nutrients most commonly limiting plant growth are N, P, K, S and micronutrients like Fe, Zn, B and Mo. NUE depends on the ability to efficiently take up the nutrient from the soil, but also on transport, storage, mobilization, usage within the plant and the environment. A number of approaches can help us to understand NUE as a whole. One involves adopting best crop management practices that take into account root-induced rhizosphere processes, which play a pivotal role in controlling nutrient dynamics in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. New technologies, from basic tools like leaf color charts to sophisticated sensor-based systems and laser land leveling, can reduce the dependency on laboratory assistance and manual labor. Another approach concerns the development of crop plants through genetic manipulations that allow them to take up and assimilate nutrients more efficiently, as well as identifying processes of plant responses to nutrient deficiency stress and exploring natural genetic variation. Though only recently introduced, the ability of microbial inoculants to induce NUE is gaining in importance, as the loss, immobilization, release and availability of nutrients are mediated by soil microbial processes.

Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2012 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: A, , course: Agricultural Economics, language: English, abstract: The present study was undertaken with a view to assess the growth in fertilizer consumption and fertilizer use pattern, to examine the gap between actual use and recommended dose of fertilizer, to study the determinants of fertilizer use, to estimate the fertilizer use efficiency and to study the impact of Soil Health Card on consumption of fertilizer in South Gujarat region. Multistage random sampling technique was used for sample selection. Total sample size comprised of 224 farmers with 50-50 per cent from with and without Soil Health Cards. The primary data were collected for the agricultural year 2010 11 by survey method. The results of the study revealed that among all the crops in South Gujarat region, the highest area was allocated to sugarcane crop, followed by kharif paddy and summer paddy. Among the regions, Middle Gujarat stood at top in consumption of N during all periods and Kutchh stood at the bottom. During the Period–I, IV and VI, the consumption of N fertilizer significantly increased in all the regions of Gujarat state. During Period–II and Period-III, the consumption of N increased significantly in all regions except Saurashtra region. Gujarat as a whole, the consumption of N increased significantly during Period-IV. During Period–V, the consumption of N increased significantly in all regions along with Gujarat as a whole and the lowest instability index was found in South Gujarat region. The consumption of P fertilizer significantly increased in all the regions along with Gujarat as a whole during Period-I. During Period–II, the consumption of P increased significantly only in North Gujarat region. The lowest instability index was found in South Gujarat region (29.07%). During Period–III, the consumption of P increased significantly in all regions except, Saurashtra region. During Period–IV, the compound growth rates were found positive but non-significant in all the regions. During Period–V, the consumption of P increased significantly in North Gujarat and Kutchh regions. For whole period, the consumption of P increased significantly in all regions. The lowest instability index was found in South Gujarat region (29.14%). During the Period-I, the consumption of K fertilizer was not reported in any regions of Gujarat State. During Period–II, the consumption of K increased significantly in Saurashtra, North Gujarat, Kutchh and Gujarat as a whole.
