Strategies for Mitigating Nitrate Leaching: A Comprehensive Methodological
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) serves as a fundamental nutrient crucial for promoting plant growth. However, the mismanagement of nitrogen fertilization within agricultural contexts has led to significant instances of nitrate leaching, particularly pronounced within fruit production systems. Empirical research has underscored the danger of elevated nitrate levels in potable water, posing potential threats to human health. Furthermore, the widespread presence of nitrates in riverine ecosystems accelerates eutrophication, thereby imposing detrimental effects on …
