摘要

The rising human population brought about the need for the Green Revolution (GR) in the 1960s to meet the growing demand for food. The GR focused on using inorganic fertilizers, irrigation, pesticides, high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, and field equipment to increase crop yields. However, the GR approach paid little attention to the sustainable management of agricultural inputs, leading to environmental degradation. The mismanagement of agricultural inputs released Green House Gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere, contributing to 30% of the total GHG emissions and causing climate change. This deterioration also affected soil and water quality, reducing crop productivity. To reclaim environmental degradation, mitigating climate change is crucial. Precision agriculture with modern techniques and technologies, such as chlorophyll meters, ground positioning systems (GPS), satellite imagery, nutrient management models, and integrated plant nutrient management (IPNM), offers a promising approach to mitigate climate change. These techniques support the 5Rs—“right time,” “right place,” “right manner,” “right amount,” and “right input”—increasing nutrient use efficiency and enhancing plant growth and development. Proper nutrient handling and vegetation maintenance can help alleviate environmental degradation without compromising crop productivity.
