On-farm location experiments and simulation model were combined to test the benefit across three years of the NE system.
Nutrient Expert attained 80% of potential yield, and increased average yield by 0.9 t ha−1 than with farmers’ fertilizer practice.
Nutrient Expert considerably increased nutrient use efficiency than with farmers’ fertilizer practice.
Nutrient Expert decreased total estimated GHG emissions and GHG emission intensity by 17% and 23% than with farmers’ fertilizer practice, respectively.
