They play a crucial role as supplementary factors in agricultural productivity. The production of nitrogen fertilizer in the cereal industry is primarily dedicated to three major crops: rice, wheat, and maize. Global food insecurity has become a pressing concern due to a growing population and shrinking farmland. While fertilizers have contributed to increased crop yields in the last six decades, their excessive application has had detrimental effects on the ecosystem. Inadequate use of fertilizers leads to reduced agricultural output, while excessive nitrogenous fertilizers negatively impact soil quality and the environment. Thus, adopting new approaches that preserve agricultural sustainability by achieving higher yields with reduced fertilizer usage and enhanced fertilizer use efficiency is imperative. This research aims to present methodologies that can effectively improve fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) to address this goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></abstract><kwd-group kwd-group-type="author"><kwd>Agricultural productivity</kwd><kwd> Ecosystem</kwd><kwd> Global food insecurity</kwd><kwd> Sustainable agriculture</kwd><kwd> Coordinated management</kwd><kwd> Fertilizer inhibitors</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><sec sec-type="data-availability"><title>Data Availability</title><p>Not applicable&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></sec><sec sec-type="COI-statement"><title>Conflicts of Interest</title><p>All authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></sec><sec sec-type="author-contributions"><title>Authors&#x2019; Contributions</title><p>The author confirms sole responsibility for the following: study conception and design, data collection, analysis and interpretation of results, and manuscript preparation.</p></sec><sec sec-type="funding-statement"><title>Funding Statement</title><p>The authors did not receive any specific grants from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or non-profit sectors for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.</p></sec><sec sec-type="software-information"><title>software-information</title><p>Not applicable</p></sec><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>I thank the following individuals for their expertise and assistance in all aspects of our study and for their help in writing the manuscript.
