TLDR
It is difficult to establish straightforward relationships between nutrient management, surplus, losses and environmental impact, and agronomic and environmental reference or target values need to be established for different production systems, geographical areas and elements.About:

Role of nutrients in controlling plant diseases in sustainable agriculture.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the most recent information regarding the effect of nutrients, such as N, K, P, Mn, Zn, B, Cl and Si, on disease resistance and tolerance and their use in sustainable agriculture.

Role of Nutrients in Controlling Plant Diseases in Sustainable Agriculture: A Review
TL;DR: This review article summarizes the most recent information regarding the effect of nutrients, such as N, K, P, Mn, Zn, B, Cl and Si, on disease resistance and tolerance and their use in sustainable agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the effectiveness of actions to mitigate nutrient loss from agriculture: a review of methods.
TL;DR: The attributes and usefulness of different approaches (direct measurement, nutrient budgeting, risk assessment and modelling) to assess the efficacy of actions to mitigate sources and transport of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from agricultural land to water are compared.

Effects of lowering nitrogen and phosphorus surpluses in agriculture on the quality of groundwater and surface water in the Netherlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effects of lowering N and P surpluses in agriculture on the quality of groundwater and surface waters, and suggested a combination of low N and p surplus in agriculture, with dredging P rich sediments, flushing of ditches, and decreasing discharges from other sources.

Approaches and uncertainties in nutrient budgets: implications for nutrient management and environmental policies
TL;DR: In this paper, three types of nutrient budgets have been distinguished, i.e., farm-gate, soil surface and soil systems budgets, and the implications of uncertainties associated with the different methodologies and approaches for nutrient management and environmental policy are discussed.

Cadmium in Soils and Plants
Mike J. McLaughlin,Bal Ram Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Kobayashi et al. as mentioned in this paper highlighted the potential concern for Cd accumulation in the food chain through Cd impurities in fertilisers and amendments applied to soils Interest in Cd in soils and plants was further stimulated when industrial pollution of agricultural lands in Japan with Cd-rich waste waters led to serious human health problems (Itai-itai disease), first documented in the 1970s.

Socio-ecological Indicators for Sustainability.
TL;DR: A systematic framework of indicators for sustainability is presented in this article, where the authors focus on societal activities that affect nature and on the internal societal resource use, as opposed to environmental quality indicators.
