Title: Changing Concepts Of Plant Nutrient Behavior And Fertilizer Use
Abstract: Agricultural workers and farmers are continually striving to correct nutrient deficiencies in order that the yields will more nearly approach the genetic limits of crop plants. As a result of this effort, great progress in the knowledge of plant–nutrient behavior and use has been made. Soil testing is an important connecting link between soils research and fertilizer usage. Agronomists are becoming increasingly aware that only a fraction of the amounts of nutrients necessary to produce top profitable yields are being applied. Fertilizer use first started on the very infertile soils where it was essential to grow any crop. It has gradually spread to areas where the need is not quite so obvious but nearly as great.
