Fertility Management and Nutrient Cycling

  • Chapter
Advances in Soil Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Soil Science ((SOIL,volume 13))

Abstract

In dryland agriculture, limited water availability is usually the factor that ultimately limits crop production. However, it is not unusual for limited availability of one or more soil nutrients to further decrease production potential. Often, the effects of water and nutrient deficiencies are additive.

Contribution from Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Nebraska Agricultural Research Division.
