Abstract:
... China currently relies on manual labour to fertilise paddy fields, hindering the improvement of fertilisation uniformity, management efficiency, and fertiliser use efficiency. Following a drastic decrease in the availability of agricultural labour, fertilisation operations are facing increasing labour costs and low reliability rates and this is threatening food security. This study developed an au ...

Abstract:
... Until recently, potassium (K) did not receive considerable attention, because of the general belief that soils contain ample amount of this element. In addition, very low rates of potash fertilizer application in agriculture led to rapid depletion of K in the rhizosphere soil, in many underdeveloped countries. This results in a variety of negative impacts, including preventing optimum utilization ...
