At the core of the strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GhG) is to improve farming’s productive efficiency – enabling farming to produce the same quantity of food, or more, with less inputs in smarter ways. Fertilisers are one of the major contributors to GhG emissions and some of these ‘smarter’ ways include the use of controlled or prolonged release technologies, precision nutrition and a heightened focus on soil problems which may interfere with nutrient uptake, such as compaction. At the heart of a smart approach is understanding nutrient use efficiency.
