Examination of the Effectiveness of Controlled Release Fertilizer to Balance Sugarcane Yield and Reduce Nitrate Leaching to Groundwater
Groundwater pollution by nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields in Okinawa is recognized as a critical issue.Controlled release fertilizer (CRF) has the potential to reduce N leaching from cropping systems.The study focused on confirming the effectiveness of CRF at balancing sugarcane yield and reducing nitrate leaching from sugarcane fields via a
