[QUOTE="B'o'B, post: 7824505, member: 491"] Yes and no. It depends what output you want /need. I would say that in the UK 25-50% of N use is “not essential” and could be better used by the world elsewhere! I am a lazy no-till arable farmer, but in my heart of hearts I know that a well integrated mixed farm, efficiently cycling nutrients would be much better environmentally. But much harder work and I think in recent history less economically rewarding if family labour is costed in properly. Cheap artificial inputs especially N allow arable to work as a standalone enterprise, limit them too much and you start to need lots of unproductive fertility building phases in your crop rotation.
