Abstract: The current ‘high input-high output’ nutrient management model based on homogeneous spread across the soil surface remains a key challenge in China's farming systems, resulting in diminished fertilizer use efficiency and increased environmental pollution. Localized placement of fertilizers (LPF) in the root zones of the crop has been proposed as a viable and practical approach to improve crop yield and ecological quality.
