3. What are the things you need to consider in making nutrient recommendation?
The crop to be planted in the site must be considered in order to meet the nutrient
requirements needed by the crop. In making recommendation, it is also important to conduct a soil
testing and analysis in order to identify and consider the existing potentially harmful soil conditions,
pH level, insufficient or excessive nutrient levels in the soil. But for the soil testing to become
effective, a representative soil must be selected based on topography and field history since they may
have similar crop responses. A good indicator of nutrient deficiency and sufficiency and also another
important factor to consider is the field and cropping history and the cultural practices that have
been previously done to the land.
4. What are the potential problem associated with the use of urea as N fertilizer? What can be done
to eliminate this problem/s?
Excessive application of urea as N fertilizer have unfavorable effects on the crop, soil, and
ecosystem. Urea that are lost through leaching can lead to groundwater pollution. Increased
nitrate content in groundwater can potentially harm people in who utilize it as drinking water.
Excessive application of urea also promotes crop succulence making it prone to disease and insect
infestation, thus reducing crop quality and yield. To eliminate these problems, it is important to
make fertilizer recommendations that are based on soil tests which include S and other
micronutrients. Also, farmers should top-dress urea before irrigation to reduce losses of N. It is
also important to use organic manures and fertilizer which can potentially minimize the use of
other fertilizers (including urea).
