Nuclear technology and how it can help fertilizer use
Sep 20:
The website highlights the importance of Nuclear and Isotopic Techniques which can help develop climate-smart processes and methodologies in agricultural sector. 8Isotopic techniques, using carbon-13, oxygen-18 and nitrogen-15 signatures, are used to assess soil carbon sequestration and trace water and nutrient sources and pathways. In this way, isotopic techniques can contribute to more efficient water and fertilizer use. 8Studies show that the impacts of climate change are expected to worsen farming conditions, especially in developing countries that will need to produce more from limited land resources while using less efficient technologies.
