4R Phosphorus Management in Pulses for Agronomists
Adams, A. 2024.
Abstract
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for pulse crop productivity, and an adequate amount of phosphorus must be supplied in a plant-available form at the critical demand periods, to
maximize crop production. Phosphorus management practices that minimize environmental damage and maximize economic returns for farmers are essential to maintain
sustainable agroecosystems. The practices of using the right rate, right source, right timing, and right placement are known as 4R nutrient stewardship. 4R nutrient stewardship
practices will promote long-term environmental, economic, and social sustainability. 4R phosphorus use practices in pulse crops give farmers and agronomists strategies to make
best use of resources and maximize pulse crop production.
