Effect of Natural Liquid Hydroabsorbents on Ammonia Emission from Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizers and Plant Growth of Maize (Zea Mays L.) under Drought Conditions
The use of mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers is associated with significant nitrogen loss through the volatilization.Ammonia (NH3) emissions are common from fertilizers with amide (NH2) and ammonium (NH4) nitrogen forms applied to the soil surface without incorporation.The objective of the laboratory and greenhouse pot experiments was to verify the
