A controlled release N fertilizer was developed by the carrier method using natural polysaccharides (PS)and urea. The results showed that mixing of PS and urea led to significant control of urea release. When a cross-...
Techniques for measurement of the N status of rice can be an aid to making management decisions with economic and environmental implications. A field experiment was conducted to identify spectral variables most sensit...
Nitrogen (N) losses from ammonium bicarbonate or urea applied to wheat and then followed immediately by irrigation were investigated. Ammonia volatilization was determined by a micrometeorological method (ammonia samp...
Effects of nitrogen fertilizer,soil moisture and temperature on methane oxidation in paddy soil were investigated under laboratory conditions. Addition of 0.05 g N kg-1 soil as NH4Cl strongly inhibited methane oxidati...
Recent progresses in efficient management of nitrogen fertilizers for flooded rice in relation to nitrogen transformations in flooded soil were reviewed.Considerable progress has been achieved in the investigation on ...
