Abstract

Plants require mineral nutrients, including the three most important macronutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), to maintain their growth. Sustainable agriculture has become increasingly important owing to the increasing global population and impending scarcity of resources. Large amounts of fertilizers are used on farmlands to ensure adequate food production. Specifically, the imprudent use of nonrenewable elements in large quantities increases the threat to future human food security. Therefore, increasing the utilization efficiency of elements is critical for sustainable agriculture. There are various ways to achieve this; for example, by allowing the plant to absorb as much of the element as possible from the fertilizer applied in the soil, ultimately increasing the crop yield. Alternatively, increasing the efficiency of element utilization by plants under certain fertilization conditions would be preferential, ultimately providing equal or higher yields than normal cultivars. Finally, considering that global climate change hugely impacts plant nutrient use efficiency, we must develop adaptation strategies for maintaining crop productivity.
