Method evidence record

Nitrogen Use Efficiency

Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) assessment and optimization is an analytical pipeline for evaluating how effectively crops convert applied nitrogen fertilizer into grain, biomass, or economic output. Developed by agronomic researchers (Dobermann, Raun) in the 2000s, this method quantifies nitrogen losses and identifies management practices to improve both crop productivity and environmental sustainability.
