“…On subsurface placement, determining the proper depth plays a pivotal role in minimizing environmental-related issues (e.g., greenhouse gas: NH 3 , N 2 O, or CH 4 emissions; eutrophication) and reducing the competitiveness of weeds in crops [61][62][63]. For example, starter N fertilizer (classical and slow-release urea) deep placement reduced CH 4 emissions in comparison with surface broadcasting [64], which is a result of an increase in CH 4 oxidation stimulated by the high NH 4 + -N in localized bands and promoted by root growth in the deep soil [65,66].…”

The rising shortage of fertilizer resources in crop-producing regions worldwide and the need for fertilizer use optimization to minimize the impact of salt injuries and ammonia toxicity are at the centre of a brewing storm call for sustainable fertilizer savings. The allocation of fertilizers will be an ever-increasing pressure source because of vast agricultural demands under changing climatic conditions. Therefore, starter fertilizers must complement their efficiency and aim to boost productivity and improve food quality to reduce its toxicities, and these observations are corroborated by an analysis of past and ongoing short-, medium-, and long-term experiments. Concurrently, to counterbalance nutrient uptake, fertilizing products containing select nutrients are commonly placed through soil–seed or soil–fertilizer–seed systems to enhance crop production and productivity. Knowledge of the importance of starter fertilizers and their implications as influenced by frequent environmental conditions and management practices remains essential for sustainable and socio-economics of human livelihoods and successful global agronomic food systems under climate change. Therefore, this review takes a closer look at the detailed starter fertilizers’ (N, P, and K) placement approaches exploring their implications on crop production cycles and integrating them with environmental and agronomic management practices that could help to tailor the appropriate fertilizer recommendations and minimise fertilizer toxicity. We explored the mechanisms by which fertilizer salt injury and ammonia toxicity interfere with the morpho-physiological and biochemical processes in most agronomic seed crops. Beyond this, we show the advances that have already been made, as well as suggestions and recommendations concerning managing fertilizer salt injuries and ammonia toxicity potentials in the agricultural industry.

“…One reason that the macro-nutrients may have shown greater treatment effects than other chemical parameters may be due to higher demands imposed by the cover crops (Hossain et al, 2017). At the same time, 4 of the 5 sites were previously in no-till or continuous sod, which has been associated with nutrient concentration near the soil surface (Houx Iii et al, 2011;Norton, 2020). It is therefore probable that disk tillage caused nutrients to become mixed to greater depths in the tilled plots.…”

“…No-till also increases nutrient stratification in the soil because it allows fertilizers, lime and residues from terminated crops to accumulate near the surface (Scheiner and Lavado, 1998). This stratification can be detrimental to crop production and the environment (Baker et al, 2017;Norton, 2020). These issues have led to the consideration of using strategic disturbance events, such as occasional inversion tillage and shallow cultivation to terminate perennials or cover crops, reducing the frequency and rate of herbicide applications and incorporating nutrients into the soil profile (Kettler et al, 2000;Dang et al, 2015;Summers et al, 2021).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.
