1、Effect of nitrogen and zinc fertilization on zinc and iron bioavailability and chemical speciation in maize silage

Significant positive correlation was observed between Zn and Fe maize silage (r = 0.64, p < 0.01) and maize grain (r = 0.85, p < 0.01) concentrations. N and Zn treatment did not affect solubility of Zn and Fe, while available Zn and Fe were affected by increase in Zn soil treatment.

2、Effects of zinc and nitrogen fertilizer and their application method on yield and yield components of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

An experiment in factorial format based on randomized complete block design with 3 repli-cations was conducted to study the effects of zinc spray (0 and 1 g/L) and nitrogen fertilizer (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg/ha pure nitrogen) on yield and yield components of Phaseolus vulgaris.

3、Micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) balance under long

Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are micronutrients which are essential in small quantities to microorganisms, plants and animal organisms, including humans. Through their involvement in various enzymes and other physiologically active molecules, they play critical roles in the biological processes of organisms.

Mixing Manure with Chemical Fertilizers, Why?and What is After?

How this particular fertilization treatment affects the changes in physical properties of the soil, water use eficiency, nitrogen use eficiency and plant growth is also being covered. This paper is to review the importance of organic manure application with chemical fertilizers in crop production.

Effects of Nitrogen on Zinc Uptake, Accumulation and Partitioning of Wheat

Effects of nitrogen on uptake, accumulation and partitioning of zinc throughout the development of wheat were studied under pot-culture conditions. The results showed that under low zinc application (0.2 mg kg-1) the grain zinc content increased by 140% when nitrogen fertilizer increased from 50 mg kg-1 to 150 mg kg-1.

Nanotechnology in fertilizers

Between 50 and 70% of the nitrogen applied using conventional fertilizers — plant nutrient formulations with dimensions greater than 100 nm — is lost owing to leaching in the form of water...

Use and efficiency of a liquid nitrogen fertilizer on grassland

The applicability and efficiency of a commercial liquid nitrogen fertilizer (containing 39% N, half urea and half ammonium nitrate) on grassland was investigated in comparison with granulated ammonium nitrate (27% N). The liquid nitrogen fertilizer was applied on continuously grazed paddocks without any repercussions for animal health.

Effect of different zinc and boron application methods on leaf nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations in maize grown on zinc and boron deficient calcareous soils.

Responses of grain zinc and nitrogen concentration to nitrogen fertilizer application in rice varieties with high

Nitrogen fertilizer increased grain Zn concentration and yield simultaneously in low-grain Zn varieties, but depressed grain Zn concentration, while boosting yield, in high-grain Zn varieties.

Zinc in soils, water and food crops

Zn in water enters from natural processes and human activities. Zn plays a vital role in several plant physiological functions. Biofortification of food crops may be an effective method for improving Zn intake in susceptible human populations.

Mixing zinc with liquid nitrogen fertilizer may have adverse effects on soil health and hinder crop growth. The following analysis provides detailed insights:

1. Chemical Properties of Zinc and Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: Zinc is a micronutrient essential for promoting plant growth, enhancing disease resistance, and other physiological functions. In contrast, liquid nitrogen fertilizer is a high-concentration source of nitrogen, primarily used to rapidly boost soil fertility and increase crop yields. The two substances exhibit distinct chemical properties, such as differences in solubility and acid-base characteristics.

2. Interactions Between Zinc and Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: When mixed, zinc quickly dissolves in water, forming a zinc ion (Zn²⁺) solution. This solution has strong oxidizing and reducing properties, enabling it to react with other soil components. For example, zinc ions may combine with soil iron (Fe³⁺) to form zinc-iron alloys, reducing the availability of iron in the soil. Additionally, zinc ions can react with aluminum (Al³⁺) in the soil to produce zinc hydroxide precipitates, further disrupting soil structure.

3. Impact on Crops: The interaction between zinc and liquid nitrogen fertilizer can negatively affect crops. Excessive zinc intake may stunt plant growth, causing symptoms like shortened stems and yellowing leaves. This occurs because excessive zinc interferes with the crop’s ability to absorb nutrients normally. Zinc ions also disrupt photosynthesis and respiration, slowing growth rates and reducing yields. Furthermore, excessive zinc weakens root development, leading to poor root systems and increased lodging susceptibility.

4. Impact on Soil Health: Mixing zinc with liquid nitrogen fertilizer can harm soil quality. High zinc levels reduce the availability of iron, impairing the soil’s nutrient supply capacity and water retention. Zinc-induced precipitation of aluminum compounds further degrades soil structure and fertility. Additionally, zinc accelerates the decomposition of soil organic matter, exacerbating soil quality decline.

Combining zinc and liquid nitrogen fertilizer may harm both soil and crops. To promote healthy growth, avoid mixing these two substances. When using liquid fertilizers, adhere to proper application methods, avoid overuse, and prioritize soil health to ensure efficient nutrient utilization and sustainable agriculture.
