Title
Nitrogen Leaching from Soil and Uptake by Sugarcane from Various Urea‐based Fertilizers
A. M. O. El Wali; F. le Grand; G. J. Gascho Soil Science Society of America Journal 1980. doi:10.2136/sssaj1980.03615995004400010025x
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Sugarcane growth did not differ significantly among fertilizer treatments.
- Intervention effect Sugarcane nitrogen uptake did not differ significantly among fertilizer treatments.
- Observation Leached and residual nitrogen differed significantly among treatments.
- Observation Nitrogen leaching ranged from 6 to 24% of applied nitrogen by fertilizer and irrigation.
- Observation Applied nitrogen leached mainly as nitrate.
- Observation Early irrigation before complete nitrification caused considerable ammonium leaching.
- Intervention effect SCU application produced the least nitrogen leaching.
- Intervention effect N-Serve with urea did not improve fertilizer efficiency.
- Recommendation The authors judged SCU more promising for commercial use than urea plus N-Serve.
- Observation Eleven to fifteen percent of applied nitrogen was unaccounted for by plant, leachate or soil.
