Acidifying Nitrogen Compounds and Range Fertilization

Efficiency of nitrogen fertilization in spring wheat

An assessment of the nitrogen fertilization efficiency should not only include quantitativeand qualitative yield changes, but also an analysis of formation some indicators such as: Nharvest index (NHI), N use efficiency (NUE), N utilization efficiency (NUtE), N agronomicefficiency (NAE), N physiological efficiency (NPE) and N apparent recovery fraction (NRF).The objective of the study was the e...

Organo-nitrogen Compounds from Molecular Nitrogen

INTRODUCTION Industrial nitrogen fixation plays an important role in sustaining approximately 40% of the Earth’s population through generation of synthetic fertilizers. Annually, ca. 500 million tons of anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and urea are produced through the Haber-Bosch process, which requires harsh conditions (200 atm, 450-500C) and affords low yields 10-20%. It has been estimat...

Long-range transport of acidifying substances in East Asia—Part I Model evaluation and sensitivity studies

This study has conducted a comprehensive model evaluation to help identify major uncertainties of regional air quality model in predicting long-range transport and deposition of acidifying substances in East Asia. Annual predictions of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model are carried out at two horizontal scales: an 81 km domain over East Asia and a 27 km domain over Northeast Asia...

CROP QUALITY & UTILIZATION Nitrogen Fertilization of Buffalograss

spp.) showed that forage DM intake was positively correlated with N fertilization rate. Fertilization may also Because native, shortgrass prairies are not typically fertilized and increase forage preference by livestock. Cook and Jeffotherwise extensively managed, little information is available on their response to nitrogen (N) fertilization. An experiment was conducted eries (1963) showed tha...
