Book (stand-alone)Improved use of Plant Nutrients. Report of the Expert Consultation on Better Exploitation of Plant Nutrients, Rome, 18-22 April 1977
FAO Soils Bulletin 37
1978Also available in:
No results found.FAO organized an Expert Consultation in April 1977 with participants from countries consuming both a high and low quantity of fertilizer, to identify possibilities for a more intensive and rational utilization of the valuable plant nutrients in mineral and organic fertilizers, with emphasis on conditions in developing countries. The conclusions reached should serve interested countries as a guide for follow-up activities in the more rational use of plant nutrients at the research and practical l evel. The participants were convinced that there are still ample possibilities for improvement and for making the costly and sometimes scarce plant nutrients more efficient and their use more economic.
