Interaction effect of nitrogen form and planting density on plant growth and nutrient uptake in maize seedlings

Interaction effect of nitrogen form and planting density on plant growth and nutrient uptake in maize seedlings

High planting density is essential to increasing maize grain yield. However, single plants suffer from insufficient light under high planting density. Ammonium (NH4+) assimilation consumes less energy converted from radiation than nitrate (NO3−). It is hypothesized that a mixed NO3−/NH4+ supply is m...
