Soil and Water Management & Crop Nutrition
FAO/IAEA Co-ordinated Research Projects

Active

Integrated soil, water and nutrient management for conservation agriculture
=> Selection for greater agronomic water use efficiency in wheat and rice using carbon isotope discrimination
=> Assess the effectiveness of soil conservation measures for sustainable watershed management using fallout radionuclides
=> Integrated Soil, Water and Nutrient Management for Sustainable Rice-Wheat Cropping Systems in Asia
=> Development of management practices for sustainable crop production systems on tropical acid soils through the use of nuclear and related techniques
=> Use of Nuclear Techniques for Developing Integrated Nutrient and Water Management Practices for Agroforestry Systems

Completed

=> Management of Nutrients and Water in Rainfed Arid and Semi-Arid Areas for Increasing Crop Production
=> Use of Nuclear and Related Techniques for Evaluating the Agronomic Effectiveness of Phosphate Fertilizers, in particular Rock Phosphates
=> Use of Nuclear Techniques for Optimizing Fertilizer Application under Irrigated Wheat to Increase the Efficient Use of Nitrogen Fertilizers and Consequently Reduce Environmental Pollution
=> Use of Irradiated Sewage Sludge to Increase Soil Fertility and Crop Yields and to Preserve the Environment
=> Use of Isotope Techniques in Studies on the Management of Organic Matter and Nutrient Turnover for Increased, Sustainable Agricultural Production and Environmental Preservation
=> Assessment of Soil Erosion through the Use of 137Cs and Related Techniques as a Basis for Soil Conservation, Sustainable Production and Environmental Protection
