Abstract
Poster Design Peer Choice Award Winner
• Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant nutrient (most commonly deficient)
- Makes up about half of global fertilizer sales
- N use efficiency is low, much is lost to atmosphere leached into water
• Environmental concerns: greenhouse gases, reactive gaseous N, water quality
• Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEF) should:
- Increase N uptake by plants
- Reduce environmental impacts of N fertilizers
- Maintain or improve crop yield/quality
- Be affordable (generally have higher cost, but needs to be offset by reduced rates and/or increased crop value)
