The proposed methodology aims to enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) through fertigation (fertilization via irrigation) and Controlled Release Fertilizers (CRFs). By significantly improving NUE and WUE, it reduces nitrogen losses and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This approach supports sustainable agriculture by increasing crop yields and minimizing environmental impacts.
