Nitrogen fertilizer in the form of urea is subject to ammonia volatilization through the activity of the urease enzyme found ubiquitously in soil (Kissel et al., 2008). Nitrate fertilizer is subject to leaching (Randall et al., 2008) or denitrification (Coyne, 2008), depending on the water content of the soil and water movement through the soil. Ammonium forms of N can be fixed (Kissel et al., ...

Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient affecting plant growth and development and its addition to the soil (as chemical or organic form) influences plant growth characteristics. One experiment was conducted as a factorial based on RCBD with two Chrysanthemum cultivars (‘Fred’ and ‘Angel’( and two N-fertilizer sources [Urea (750 and 1500 g/ha and Nitroxin 7.5 and 15 L/ha] used as fertigation method besi...

a trial study was carried out to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on wheat yield and components, at the agricultural faculty of shahidchamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012.the experimental design was splitplot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were different wheat residue manage...

soil enzyme activities can be used as indicators of soil quality for assessing the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of barley residue input rate, burning, urea fertilizer and tillage management on activities of alkaline phosphatase and urease under field conditions, after a period of 90 days. the experiment was carried out based...

Urea is the major nitrogen (N) form supplied as fertilizer in agriculture, but it is also an important N metabolite in plants. Urea transport and assimilation were investigated in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Uptake studies using (15)N-labeled urea demonstrated the capacity of Arabidopsis to absorb urea and that the urea uptake was regulated by the initial N status of the plants. Urea up...

The application of organic fertilizers can improve soil fertility specifically on Inceptisol soils which are quite extensive but have problems with relatively low nitrogen nutrients so that the effort to overcome this is through addition matter into fertilization or inorganic fertilizers. purpose study was determine effect goat and urea fertilizer chemical properties inceptisols from Rantau Sel...

The revolving algal biofilm (RAB) system is a wastewater treatment method that effective at removing nutrients from wastewater, and as result produces algae could be used sustainable fertilizer source. A two-year greenhouse study was conducted to investigate if algae-based fertilizers produced the RAB an turfgrass fertilizer. Fertilizer treatments included pure (PA), + cellulosic filler (Blende...
