abstract in this study different proportions of nh4+ and no3- in the growth medium on plant growth were investigated in hydroponic greenhouse experiments. the objectives of these studies were to investigate if ammonium (nh4+) stress in cucumber, a species sensitive to nh4+ toxicity, can be alleviated by matching the nitrogen supply rate to the plant nitrogen demand. ammonium was applied at a re...

tomato  (l.ycopersicon esculentum  mill.) cv. rio grande  seedlings were nutritionally conditioned with solutions complete fertilizer n(60% no3+40% nh4)-p-k (20-20-20) , n(30%no3+70% nh4)-p-k (15-5-30) , the first two week   n(60% no3+40% nh4)-p-k (20-20-20) and later two week  n(30%no3+70% nh4)-p-k (15-5-30)  and vice versa were  applied in  completely randomized experiment with three replicat...

fifteen kinds of local wetland plants in taihu lake region of china were investigated on their respective growth conditions, biomass allocations and nutrient uptake capacities. the test plants were cultured in 3 l nutrient solutions for 28 days with nh4 +-n, no3 --n and p concentrations of 38.5, 132.8 and 10 mg/l, respectively. mean species total biomass ranged from 1.2-21.6 g/plant with a...

Chemical precipitation to form magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) is an effective technology for recovering ammonium nitrogen (NH4(+)-N). In the present research, we investigated the thermodynamic modeling of the PHREEQC program for NH4(+)-N recovery to evaluate the effect of reaction factors on MAP precipitation. The case study of NH4(+)-N recovery from coking wastewater was conducted to provi...

The fate of ammoniacal-nitrogen (NH4-N) was studied in a lab-scale downflow reed bed system treating an artificial landfill leachate. Individual reed beds were submerged by the leachate, then drained and rinsed by tap water. It was discovered that NH4-N was removed by a two-staged process, adsorption onto the reed bed media followed by nitrification into nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N) and nitrate-nit...
