Moving forward with complementary feeding: indicators and research priorities by Ruel, Marie T., Brown, Kenneth H., Caulfield, Laura E.

“…Child feeding practices are also age-specific within narrow age ranges, which add to the complexity of developing recommendations and measuring responses. Finally, the lack of clear international recommendations for some aspects of complementary feeding has prevented the development of universal indicators to define optimal feeding. …”

Global nitrogen budgets in cereals: A 50-year assessment for maize, rice, and wheat production systems by Ladha, J.K., Tirol-Padre, A., Reddy, C.K., Cassman, K.G., Verma, Sudhir, Powlson, D.S., van Kessel, C., de B. Richter, Daniel, Chakraborty, Debashis, Pathak, Himanshu

“…Our scaling-down approach to estimate the contribution of non-symbiotic N2fixation is robust because it focuses on global quantities of N in sources and sinks that are easier to estimate, in contrast to estimating N losses per se, because losses are highly soil-, climate- and crop-specific.…”

Research needs and methods for the use of fertilizers and soil amendments in bean-based cropping systems by Mughogho, SK, Wortmann, Charles S.

“…Nitrogen needs to better managed to meet the needs of the component crop without inhibiting N fixation by the bean crop. The management of applied nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients needs further research for beans grown in association with other crops to increase the yield of all component crops and to provide an adequate "sink" to stimulate nitrogen fixation. …”
