Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) refers to how effectively plants utilize available nutrients in the soil to achieve optimal growth and yield. Improving NUE is crucial for sustainable agriculture, as it minimizes the need for excessive chemical fertilizers, which can lead to environmental pollution and increased production costs. Research in this area focuses on developing crop varieties that are more efficient in nutrient uptake and utilization, as well as improving soil management practices that enhance nutrient availability. Efficient nutrient management not only boosts crop productivity but also supports soil health and reduces the environmental footprint of farming. In horticulture, increasing NUE is essential for promoting sustainable practices while maintaining high-quality yields.
