Nitrogen, Volume 6, Issue 2

With the increase in prices of correctives and fertilizers, the investigation of the interactions between plants and plant growth-promoting bacteria shows an economically viable and sustainable alternative, and the use of Azospirillum brasilense has...

Global crop yield is stagnant due to quick release of N from fertilizers and its lower availability at critical growth stages of crops. Urea impregnation of aluminosilicate minerals, especially zeolites, holds NH4+ and delays its release for later cr...

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas due to its long atmospheric lifespan (121 years) that results in a high global warming potential (GWP). Research has shown that no-tillage may be implemented as a mitigation strategy to reduce N2O emissions. T...

Monoculture systems depend on high nitrogen (N) fertilisation. Incorporating legumes into forage crops offers a sustainable alternative with agronomic and economic benefits. This study assesses the impact of legumes in fodder systems, evaluating yiel...

A meta-regression was conducted on studies published from 2018 to 2023 to explore the effects of nutrient intakes from alfalfa (ALF) and corn silage (CS) on milk yield (MY), energy-corrected milk yield (ECM), N efficiency (NEFF), milk urea nitrogen (...

Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in plants is reduced when treated with excess nitrogen fertilizer. Our study aimed to investigate the impact of varied concentrations of urea on the growth responses, vegetation indices, and ammonia volatilization in rad...

The relationship between nitrate concentration and electrical conductivity (EC) in aqueous environments is crucial for water quality assessment, especially in regions with limited laboratory access and monitoring resources. This study investigates ni...

The increased frequency of extreme heat stress events due to climate change is adversely impacting rice yield. Nitrogen (N) is an essential element in the synthesis of chlorophyll in rice, contributing substantially to the achievement of spikelet fer...

The key objectives of contemporary agriculture are restoring biodiversity, preserving ecosystem health, reducing the effects of climate change, and producing safe and healthy foods. Maintaining high soil fertility while reducing greenhouse gas emissi...

Soybean, an important leguminous crop valued for its high protein and oil content, obtains most of its nitrogen through symbiotic fixation processes. The symbiosis between soybeans and rhizobium can provide sufficient nitrogen for soybean growth. How...
