The use of nuclear techniques in agricultural research implies important comparative benefits. This technology provides enormous utility in because it permits a direct quantitative measurement of the influence of varied factors on the environment. Isotopic techniques have been developed and refined, permitting the research and development of solutions in areas such as soil fertility, fertilizing source, optimal use of nutrients, rational use of nutrients, and economic water use through direct application of techniques in agricultural farms.
