removal


Explanation:
“The goal of balancing nutrient inputs with crop removals is twofold. It reduces the buildup of nutrients and addresses environmental concerns while keeping fertility costs to a minimum,”

‘Uptake’ refers to total nutrient uptake in harvested (grain) and residue (straw) portion, whereas ‘removal’ is the harvested portion only.

Example sentence(s):
  • balancing nutrient inputs with crop removal
