Description:
This book reviews the wealth of research on ways improving nitrogen use efficiency in crop production reduces the agri sector's environmental impact and rebalances the global nitrogen cycle.
Brief description: Dr Janke is a soil scientist with a research focus on understanding the interaction of soil bio-physico-chemical properties with nutrient cycling and availability. She is interested in identifying solutions for sustainable agricultural production which both counter and future-proof against changing climates.
Review Quotes:
"This book is a jewel, its many facets revealing the full range of advanced technical and technological data and innovative strategies in nitrogen management aimed at improving agricultural productivity and supporting sustainable and resilient agriculture, while also minimizing negative environmental impacts in line with sustainable development goals." (Book Review Published in International Journal of Environmental Studies - Professor Nadia Boutaleb, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco)
"The efficient use of nitrogen in crop production makes an important contribution to reducing the environmental impact of agriculture, while maintaining or increasing productivity. The book entitled Improving nitrogen use efficiency in crop production edited by Adjunct Professor Jagdish Kumar Ladha provides a good starting point to several diverse topics related to nitrogen use efficiency. The chapters present different topics of nitrogen management, often starting on an introductory level while highlighting specific aspects with case studies. It is very helpful that most chapters provide a section on where to look for further information." (Book Review Published in Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems - Dr Else K. Bünemann, FiBL, Switzerland)
