Crop nutrition
The performance of a crop depends on proper nutrition. Through the effective use of resources, studies aim to maximize productivity and profitability. Some specific research themes include:
- Measuring and keeping track of crop nutrient levels and soil nutrient supply.
- Identification of treatment-relevant critical levels or thresholds.
- Determining how a crop’s productivity and quality response to the amount, timing, and application of fertilizer.
- Strategies for managing nutrients and fertilizers to maximise crop growth, production, and quality.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are the two primary sources of food. Despite having a strong agricultural orientation, India nonetheless struggles with a food shortage because of its growing population. There are numerous strategies to stop the shortage of food for humans. Increasing production effectiveness is one.
