NH3-N volatilization in corn crop: I- effect of irrigation and partial substitution of urea by ammonium sulphate
01/Sep/1997
A field experiment was carried out on a dark-red latosol (Oxisol) of the Centro de Pesquisas Novartis-Seeds, in Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of irrigation, side-dressed application of urea, and urea partially substituted by ammonium sulphate on losses of NH3-N by volatilization in corn crop. The fertilizers were applied at 25 and 36 days after planting. The treatments, arranged in randomized complete block design, were: (i) control, (ii) urea, […]
