Neem Coated Urea (NCU), An Efficient Nitrogen Source for Paddy Cultivation: A Review

Response of BGA-Urea Fertigation as N2 Source on Growth Parameters and Yield of Paddy (Oryza sativa L.) in Agra (India)

Paddy being cultivated since about 10,000 years B.C in Ganga Valley in India, its production reached up to 99 million tons in the year 2012. BGA are of much ecological importance for maintaining the soil fertility and reclaiming the alkalinity. In present investigation attempts were made to identify the local cyanobacterial genera from the paddy fields, BGA application for green farming enablin...

Urea as a source of nitrogen for the biosynthesis of amino acids.

Urea has long been recognized as the principal end product of nitrogenous metabolism in mammals. In recent years, the possibility that monogastric animals might be able to decompose this substance, when administered preformed, has stimulated considerable interest. The presence of radioactive carbon dioxide in the expired air after the injection of urea labeled with Cl4 indicates that decomposit...

Reducing nitrous oxide emission from an irrigated rice field of North India with nitrification inhibitors

Nitrification inhibitors may be potential management strategy to reduce N2O emissions in irrigated rice (Oryza sativa L.). A field experiment was conducted to evaluate chemically synthesized as well as locally available neem plant products on N2O emissions, from an irrigated rice at New Delhi, India. Emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) was monitored during 70 days by closed chamber method in rice (...

Blood Urea Nitrogen

Loop diuretics are used in patients with heart failure (HF) to relieve symptoms of systemic and pulmonary venous congestion. Despite their nearly universal use for this indication, loop diuretics have not been shown to improve survival—indeed, a number of recent studies suggest an adverse relationship between the use of loop diuretics and survival (1–3). This is plausible because loop diuretics...
