A scientific approach to Nitrigen can increase potato crop yield

摘要

Nitrogen(N) is the most used and least understood of all agricultural nutritional inputs. It is well known that typically only a third of applied N is taken up by crops. However, the effect that the form of N is delivered in has a direct relation on how, and which crop cells grow and develop, is less understood, and offers great potential to increase yields.Nitrogen can be taken up as amine (NH2), Ammonium (NH4) or nitrate (N03), but due to conversion by soil bacteria, the vast majority of N applied to crops is taken up as nitrate.
