Eutrophication of water body is a problem of global concern. The potential for nutrient loss in runoff has been increased by the continued application of fertilizer and the excrement from livestock and poultry culturing industry. That has created a nitrogen and phosphorus imbalance. So the agricultura...

The environmental implications are profound: decreased agrochemical runoff reduces water pollution, lower pesticide use helps preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health, and careful soil management via reduced chemical interference underpins long-term agricultural sustainability. Crop spraying and planting: Pioneer...
In most cases pollution from feedlots is greater than from manure application sites or grazing areas. Pesticides with solubilities of greater than 10 ppm are lost mainly in the water phase of runoff. Runoff and erosion control best management practices will reduce pesticide losses in surface runoff...
Agriculture and Water Quality Agriculture uses vast quantities of water and also causes extensive pollution, primarily by introducing nonpoint-source contaminants. Runoff from agricultural fields often contains eroded soil, fertilizers, animal manure, or pesticides that together form a major source of ...

Agroforestry, a practice that combines trees with agricultural crops, enhances biodiversity, reduces water runoff, and sequesters carbon dioxide. Precision agriculture, utilizing advanced technologies like sensors and drones, enables farmers to optimize resource use and reduce waste....
reduced chemical runoff, and improved water conservation. Innovations like nano-priming can enhance seed germination and drought resilience, while nanosensors enable precise monitoring of soil and crop health. Despite the promising commercial potential, significant challenges persist regarding the safety, ecol...
A key challenge is boosting productivity while minimizing environmental impact. Mismanaged nutrient applications can harm ecosystems, leading to nutrient runoff and water pollution. However, when used responsibly, fertilizers contribute to agricultural systems that provide economic, environmental, and social ...
