Micronutrient R&D in Pakistan: Historical Perspective and Current Status. Micronutrient Status of Soils and Crops in Pakistan. Crop Yield Increases with Micronutrient Fertilization and its Economics. Micronutrient Fertilizer Sources, Availability and Quality in Pakistan. Micronutrient Fertilizer Use Efficiency, Residual Effect and Soil Balances. Micronutrient Fertilizer Use in Pakistan. Strategies for Improving Micronutrient Management. Deficiencies-Linked Micronutrient Malnutrition. Some Misconceptions About Micronutrients. Micronutrient Research and Development Needs. Managing Micronutrient Deficiencies in the Context of 4R Nutrient Stewardship. Recommendations.Micronutrient research has been an important component of soil fertility and plant nutrition program in Pakistan since the identification of zinc deficiency in rice in 1969. Since then, considerable progress has been made on various aspects of micronutrient nutrition problems and their management.
Micronutrient research has been an important component of the soil fertility and plant nutrition program in Pakistan since the identification of zinc deficiency in rice in 1969. Since then, considerable progress has been made on diagnosis and management of micronutrient nutrition problems in crops. However, now there is growing R&D evidence that micronutrient malnutrition in humans could be addressed through enriching staple food grains with micronutrients.
This book presents the latest R&D information on micronutrient problems in crop plants/cropping systems and their corrective measures. The current status, the constraints, and economic benefits of using micronutrient fertilizers for optimizing crop productivity and soil resource sustainability are discussed along with estimating future potential requirement of micronutrient lăR
