Abstract
Nitrogen management significantly contributes to food security and other SDGs. However, under- and over-application leads to lower yields, increased pests and diseases, soil acidity, and other issues. Nitrogen overapplication may lead to eutrophication. Recommended nitrogen management strategies include precise nutrient management (4R: right place, right source, right rate, and right time), decision support systems, and nitrification inhibitors, among others.
