This is achieved by using either a very sophisticated technique, electro-ultra-filtration, or a simple adsorption-desorption equilibrium technique, and by integrating the "Buffer Power" of the nutrient in question into the computations, accurate fertilizer recommendations are made. This technique was field tested across Europe, (Germany and Belgium), Africa (The Republic of Cameroon), and Asia (both Central Asia- Turkey and South Asia-India), during a period of three decades in test crops, such as, summer rye (Secale cereale), maize (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), white clover (Trifolium repens), a highly nutritious and palatable fodder crop for Africa, black pepper (Piper nigrum) and cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum). Remarkable precision in predictability of plant uptake of phosphorus, potassium and zinc was obtained employing the technique. "The Nutrient Buffer Power Concept" project was shortlisted for the very prestigious U.S. $1 Million Rolex Awards For Enterprise of The Rolex Foundation, Geneva, Switzerland, for its outstanding originality and quality from more than 3500 nominations worldwide and is the only project chosen for this very coveted distinction from the Asian continent 001467693 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 25, 2019) 001467693 650_0 $$aSoil management. 001467693 650_0 $$aSustainable agriculture. 001467693 650_6 $$aSols$$xAménagement. 001467693 650_6 $$aAgriculture durable. 001467693 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001467693 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030155292 001467693 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030155315 001467693 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9783030155322 001467693 852__ $$bebk 001467693 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-15530-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001467693 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1467693$$pGLOBAL_SET 001467693 980__ $$aBIB 001467693 980__ $$aEBOOK 001467693 982__ $$aEbook 001467693 983__ $$aOnline 001467693 994__ $$a92$$bISE
