Opis

A frank and factual discussion of the challenges and possibilities INM holds, this book brings together scientists from around the world. It examines the challenges of managing both organic and inorganic nutrient sources in agricultural systems where nutrients are deficient or in excess supply. Through a combination of theoretical and applied knowledge, this collection provides a practical understanding of how any type of production system can successfully adopt integrated nutrient management (INM). It presents international case studies on the potential for continuing production with a focus on sustainability and explores many concerns central to INM.
