The use of nuclear techniques in agricultural research implies important comparative benefits. This technology provides enormous utility in because it permits a direct quantitative measurement of the influence of varied factors on the environment. Isotopic techniques have been developed and refined, permitting the research and development of solutions in areas such as soil fertility, fertilizing source, optimal use of nutrients, rational use of nutrients, and economic water use through direct application of techniques in agricultural farms.

Indeed, if the recommendations obtained in the studies performed by CCHEN are followed, the application rate of fertilizers can be reduced, degraded soils can be restored, soil erosion can be quantified, optimal fertilizer and water use can be applied (fertigation) in fruit tree plantations, pesticides , can be adequately used, among other remarkable advances for the area.see note..
