In recent years, new technologies have been developed to reduce N losses when using urea as a source of this macronutrient. The use of fertilizers with acidic features can reduce ammonia losses from volatilization when combined with urea. The objective of this study was to assess ammonia losses from sources of N with or without coating and/or incorporation of S and bentonite. These fertilizers were applied to the surface of a Haplic Planosol contained in trays (0.1 m2 area and […]
