ABSTRACT
The efficient use of fertilizers is a critical component of sustainable agriculture, ensuring optimal nutrient supply to crops while minimizing environmental impacts. This comprehensive review examines the various aspects of fertilizer use efficiency and its implications for sustainable agricultural practices. This review discussed the factors influencing fertilizer use efficiency, including soil properties, crop types, climate conditions, and management practices. The role of different fertilizer types, such as organic and inorganic fertilizers, and their interactions with soil microbial communities are explored. Additionally, environmental consequences of fertilizer application assessed which including nutrient leaching, greenhouse gas emissions, and potential strategies to mitigate these effects. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the importance of integrated nutrient management approaches and innovative technologies to enhance fertilizer use efficiency and promote sustainable agriculture in a changing global landscape.
