tion of efficient nutrient manage- he authors have well illustrated “T the critical importance of integrated nutrient management in meeting crop production and food security needs while maintaining environmental sustainability under a range of environments, agricultural systems, and societal and economic conditions This will be a valuable desk reference and resource for students and professionals as a compendium to integrated nutrient management approaches that are uniquely applied over a range of geographic, social, and environmental conditions that influence the availability, effectiveness, and environmental consequences of fertilizers, plant and animal manures, soil organic resources, and biological fixed N for crop production.” ment practices used in diverse cropping systems throughout the world For each major cropping region, leading international scientists thoroughly discuss nutrient use and management for the major crops and cropping systems, while concisely identifying future research needs and education priorities Students and professionals interested in the global view of nutrient management technologies essential to world food security and protecting our natural resources will find this an inJohn W Doran valuable resource.” Professor Emeritus, Agronomy Dr John Havlin, Professor Department of Soil Science, North Carolina State University, Raleigh ©

throughout the world integrated nutrient use and should be The regional perspectives allow readers to see the commonalities in nutrient management across regions as well as the uniqueness within regions because of factors such as climate, soils, and resources I believe the regional data on agricultural production, fertilizer consumption, and nutrient balances in a single-source will be quite useful for a number of readers As a researcher, I particularly liked the sections on future challenges for integrated nutrient management, research gaps, and future research needs This will be a
