Nitrogen utilization by corn (Zea mays L.) is influenced by the form of inorganic N present in the root zone. A field experiment was conducted on Enon sandy loam (fine, mixed, thermic Ultic Hapludalf) to determine N use efficiency and its partitioning in various plant parts of corn. Ammonium nitrate labeled either as NH4-N or NO3-N and applied at 50, 100, or 200 kg N ha" was evaluated. Microplo...
