Drivers for the Adoption of Different Eco-Innovation Types in the Fertilizer Sector: A Review

Drivers for the Adoption of Different Eco-Innovation Types in the Fertilizer Sector: A Review

Numerous innovations have been developed in the fertilizer and plant nutrition area in recent decades. However, the adoption of many new products and techniques at farm level is still low. In this paper, based on a literature review, we explore the main drivers for innovation adoption or rejection....
