Lessons from low‐ and middle‐income countries to improve nutrient‐use efficiency under fertilizer scarcity
Andre Bationo, Luis Prochnow, Amit RoyAbstract
The limited accessibility, availability, and affordability of fertilizers constitutes a major constraint on crop productivity, alongside poor agronomic practices and weather‐related environmental pressures. Maximizing nutrient use efficiency (NUE) through the adoption of appropriate agronomic practices and use of local phosphate rock can play a key role in preventing yield collapse. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
