In this study, nitrogen fertilizer was applied to corn (Zea mays L.) at conventional (excessive) and recommended levels, and the growth response was assessed by measuring plant height and stem perimeter. Corn plant maximum height was observed in recommended rates of N fertilizer treatment, and the height without N fertilizer was the same as that receiving excess N fertilizer. Stem perimeter was...

Solution and suspension N sources have been developed as substitutes Cor urea in spray solutions used by lawn-care proCessionals. A field study was conducted to evaluate the response of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa prarensis L.) growing on a Catlin silt loam (Typic ArgiudoLl), to applications oC the nell' solution and suspension N sources, alone or combined with urea, by comparison to turC response ...

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., ...

Nitrification inhibitors (Thiourea and nitrification inhibitor “A”) with urea fertilizer were used to enhance the nitrogen efficiency. Nitrification inhibitors and the amount of nitrogen were applied through urea fertilizer to rice seed in Column Lysimeters. The whole experiment was conducted with following treatments such as; urea application as a control at 2gN/10kg (200 kg N/ha), urea applic...
