The present book encompasses 31 chapters that focus on the progress made in soil-plant systems to enhance nutrient use efficiency. The book is structured around four major themes: 1) Introduction and Fundamentals of Soil Plant Atmosphere Continuum and nutrient use efficiency, 2) Soil physical, chemical, biological and agronomic management for improving NUE, 3) Plant physiological, genetic & molecular biological basis for improving nutrient uptake & use efficiency, and 4) Climate change aspects related to soil and plant systems for improving NUE. Additionally, the book includes several chapters on analytical techniques and instrumentation for the study of nutrient use efficiency with respect to physico-chemical and biological parameters.
