Soil Nitrogen Fractions, Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Yield of <i>Zea mays</i> L. Grown on a Tropical Acid Soil Treated with Composts and Clinoptilolite Zeolite
High nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is important for improving crop yield. There are many nitrogen (N) fractions in soil and their uptake by crops varies. Most of the N that is taken up by plants is not native to the soil but usually from fertilizer added to the soil. However, the unbalanced use of f...
