CFPN Research Themes
CFPN research is divided into nine key themes. Within each theme we have set goals for research:
- Evaluate new fertilizers and application methods on different crops
- Optimize the process of applying fertilizers for selected crops
- Create new nutrient diagnostic tools and methods
- Identify and evaluate methods to recycle nutrients from organic and mineral waste products
- Develop fertilization practices to improve the nutritional value of crops
- Create technologies and methods to improve fertilizer application to the plant’s canopy
- Develop ways to enhance the ability of plants to use available mineral nutrients
- Generate methods to improve soil health, post-harvest practices and a crop’s resistance to stress
- Develop new ways to share knowledge and tools for plant nutrition in developing countries
- Agricultural Big Data Analysis and Precision Agriculture
