Co-benefits (improved productivity, profitability and environmental friendliness ) of site-specific nutrient management for maize, rice, and wheat tailored to smallholder agriculture

Relative to the farmer practice, across the crops maize, rice and wheat, Site Specific Nutrient Management (SSNM) increased grain yield by 12% and profitability by 15% with 10% less fertilizer nitrogen applied, thereby improving nitrogen use efficiency and reducing nitrogen pollution to the environm...
