Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Urea amendments had no long-term effect on soil pH or exchangeable ammonium and nitrate accumulation.
- Intervention effect Higher TSP and zeolite rates significantly increased stem and leaf dry matter.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not significantly change leaf or stem urea-N concentration.
- Intervention effect Fresh cob production did not differ statistically across treatments.
- Intervention effect All amended treatments improved urea-N uptake efficiency over urea alone.
- Recommendation The authors suggested TSP and zeolite amended urea could reduce ammonia loss from surface-applied urea.
