Effects of Zeolitic Urea on Nitrogen Leaching (NH<sub>4</sub>-N and NO<sub>3</sub>-N) and Volatilization (NH<sub>3</sub>) in Spodosols and Alfisols

Effects of Zeolitic Urea on Nitrogen Leaching (NH<sub>4</sub>-N and NO<sub>3</sub>-N) and Volatilization (NH<sub>3</sub>) in Spodosols and Alfisols

Global use of urea nitrogen (N) fertilizer is increasing, but N losses are still very high (40–70%). Zeolites have the capability of holding NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>, thus reducing N losses when applied as a soil amendment. However, application of a large quantity of zeolit...
