Reducing Nitrogen Pollution while Decreasing Farmers' Costs and Increasing Fertilizer Industry Profits.
Nitrogen (N) pollution is emerging as one of the most important environmental issues of the 21st Century, contributing to air and water pollution, climate change, and stratospheric ozone depletion. With agriculture being the dominant source, we tested whether it is possible to reduce agricultural N pollution in a way that benefits the environment, reduces farmers' costs, and increases fertilize...
متن کاملApplication of Milk Urea Nitrogen Values
In dairy cows, dietary crude protein (CP) that can is not captured as milk protein is largely excreted as N in manure. Of course, some protein-N is retained for growth in first and second lactation animals and in the calf and fetal tissues during pregnancy; however, these amounts are small relative to the proportion of absorbed N going into milk. Cows and other mammals convert N from absorbed a...
متن کاملImpact of controlled release urea on maize yield and nitrogen use efficiency under different water conditions
Controlled release urea (CRU) has been widely adopted to increase nitrogen (N) use efficiency and maize production, but the impacts can range widely depending on water availability in the soil. In an experiment using Zhengdan 958 (a popular summer maize hybrid), three levels of water treatments (adequate water condition [W3], which maintained soil moisture at about 75% ± 5% of the soil's field ...
متن کاملReducing nitrogen fertilization application in Cucumber by mycorrhiza colonization of the plant
The effect of different nitrogen levels on plant growth, phenol content, antioxidant and Nitrate reductase )NR) activity of cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Super) inoculated with mycorrhiza was studied. A factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design (CRD) with 6 replicates was designed. Treatments were three levels of nitrogen (NO3-50, NO3-75 and NO...
متن کاملReducing human nitrogen use for food production
Reactive nitrogen (N) is created in order to sustain food production, but only a small fraction of this N ends up being consumed as food, the rest being lost to the environment. We calculated that the total N input (TN) of global food production was 171 Tg N yr(-1) in 2000. The production of animal products accounted for over 50% of the TN, against 17% for global calories production. Under curr...
