چکیده

Salinity is an abiotic stress factor that can cause significant crop yield losses. Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant element that is usually limited in most agricultural soils. Recently, incorporation of additives such as N-(n-butyl) Thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and Dicyandiaminde (DCD) into N fertilizers has been done with the purpose of increasing N use efficiency of crops. To our knowledge little is known about the physiology of N metabolism in cotton plants grown in soils with condition of salinity stress. Hydroponic experiments with cotton indicated that high levels of salinity reduced N uptake and medium salinity increased tissue N concentrations (Pessarakli and Tucker, 1985). The toxic effect of DCD in cotton under high salinity has been reported (Reeves and Touchton, 1989), but studies on the performance of NBPT under salinity conditions are lacking.

Effect of Foliar Application of Urea with N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) on the Yield of Cotton

Foliar fertilization with nitrogen (N) is used to supplement soil N application in order to meet the high N requirements of crops (Oosterhuis and Weir, 2010). Urea is the most common foliar N source in cotton, due to its relatively low toxicity, quick absorption, and low cost (Maples and Baker, 1993; McConnell et al., 1998; Oosterhuis and Bondada, 2001). However, in the literature reports of yi...

Effects of Temperature and Application of Urea with N-butyl Thiophosphoric Triamide and Dicyandiaminde on Cotton

Crops are usually known to have low N use efficiency, recovering only 30-35% of the N supplied (Constable and Rochester, 1988; Daberkow et al., 2000). Different practices have been recommended to increase crop N-use efficiency and much attention has been focused on the use of urease and/or nitrification inhibitors to decrease losses of N by volatilization and leaching. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutu...

Short-Term Treatment with the Urease Inhibitor N-(n-Butyl) Thiophosphoric Triamide (NBPT) Alters Urea Assimilation and Modulates Transcriptional Profiles of Genes Involved in Primary and Secondary Metabolism in Maize Seedlings

To limit nitrogen (N) losses from the soil, it has been suggested to provide urea to crops in conjunction with the urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT). However, recent studies reported that NBPT affects urea uptake and urease activity in plants. To shed light on these latter aspects, the effects of NBPT were studied analysing transcriptomic and metabolic changes occurrin...

Foliar application of nitrogen (N) is used to supplement soil N application in order to meet high N requirements of crops (Oosterhuis, 1999). Urea is the most common foliar N source in cotton, due to its relatively low toxicity, quick absorption, and low cost (Maples and Baker, 1993; McConnell et al., 1998, Oosterhuis and Bondada, 2001).

The Urease Inhibitor NBPT Negatively Affects DUR3-mediated Uptake and Assimilation of Urea in Maize Roots

Despite the widespread use of urease inhibitors in agriculture, little information is available on their effect on nitrogen (N) uptake and assimilation. Aim of this work was to study, at physiological and transcriptional level, the effects of N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) on urea nutrition in hydroponically grown maize plants. Presence of NBPT in the nutrient solution limited the c...
