The level and form of nitrogen fertilizer could significantly influence the growth and development of plant. The present paper studied the content of chlorophyll by the instrument SPAD-502 after treated with different nitrogen fertilizer level and different nitrogen fertilizer form. The results showed that the contents of chlorophyll in the last expanding leaf of maize seedling treated by levels of 0, 100 and 200 kgN x hm(-2) respectively had no significant difference, with the value of SPAD ranging from 43.3 to 43.7, but when the nitrogen fertilizer level got to 400 kgN x hm(-2), the content of chlorophyll in the last expanding leaf of maize seedling increased significantly, which can be caused by other components in the nitrogen fertilizer, which needs to be further studied. The experiments of nitrogen form showed that maize seedling treated by ammonia nitrogen ((NH4)2SO4) contained more chlorophyll than that treated by saltpeter nitrogen (Ca(NO3)2), and the statistical analysis was significant. The reason for the effect of nitrogen form on the content of chlorophyll of maize seedling leaf could be: (1) it is easier for plants to absorb ammonia nitrogen ((NH4)2SO4) than saltpeter nitrogen (Ca(NO3)2); (2) ammonia nitrogen ((NH4)2SO4) contains more trace elements which can promote the growth and development of plants.

Nitrogen fertilizer delivery inefficiencies limit crop productivity and contribute to environmental pollution. Herein, we developed Zn- and Fe-doped hydroxyapatite nanomaterials (ZnHAU, FeHAU) loaded with urea (∼26% N) through hydrogen bonding and metal-ligand interactions. The nanomaterials attach to the leaf epidermal cuticle and localize in the apoplast of leaf epidermal cells, triggering a slow N release at acidic conditions (pH 5.

The Eastern Corn Belt (ECB) node of the Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network is representative of row crop agricultural production systems in the poorly drained, humid regions of the US Midwest and a significant focus for addressing water quantity and quality concerns affecting Lake Erie and the Gulf of Mexico. The objectives of this paper were to (1) present relevant background information and collection methodology, (2) provide summary analyses of measured data, and (3) provide details for accessing the dataset and discuss potential database applications. The ECB-water quality (ECB-WQ) database is comprised of hydrology and water quality data from three privately owned farms in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana and is available for download through the United States Department of Agriculture Ag Data Commons.

In farmland shelterbelt systems, the decomposition and/or apoptosis of forest fine root litter could affect farmland soil properties at the tree-crop interface, particularly the soil nitrogen (N) cycling. However, how fine root litter affect the ammonia (NH) and nitrous oxide (NO) losses from farmland soil and the crop production is little known. A soil column experiment covering a whole rice season was conducted to evaluate the dynamics aforesaid in response to fine root litter of Populus (RP) and Metasequoia glyptostroboides (RM) with 0 and 240 kg ha N fertilizer input.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how adding nitrogen fertilizers affects the remobilization of cadmium in rice fields, highlighting increased cadmium levels in rice due to ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) compared to nitrogen (NO-N).
- Organic acids secreted by rice roots, particularly under NH-N treatment, were found to play a significant role in increasing soluble cadmium content and impacting microbial community functions.
- The research suggests a complex interaction between nutrient application, cadmium levels, and microbial dynamics that could elevate cadmium exposure through rice consumption.
