Description
As India's population is rising, we have to produce more and better food from less resources. After green revolution unintentional manipulation by anthropogenic activities resulted land degradation, environmental pollution, global warming/climate change, scarcity of drinking water and biodiversity loss, finally change in earth’s ecosystem and environmental. Thus to achieve the goals of sustainable agriculture (increased food and fiber production, profitability, input efficiency, and suitable environmental concern), a balance of optimal nutrient levels is essential in soil whereas at the same time deduction in input cost is also the need of hour. As, soil fertility is a manageable soil feature, plant-specific and its management is critical for maximizing crop nutrition. The resource conservation technologies (RCTs) broadly are activities which save and enhance our resource base like zero/minimal tillage. Carbon dioxide that is major and huge source to cause the global warming, has to be removed from the atmosphere which is known as carbon sequestration. Thus, the book entitled as "Modern Concept of Fertilizer Application and Carbon Sequestration Techniques for Sustainable Agriculture" describes at one place, the techniques of soil fertility evaluation as well as management of inputs through the modern techniques e.g. precision farming and SSNM, also provides information on modern resource saving and carbon sequestration techniques which are the base for sustainable agriculture to maintain productivity in long run.
