Baking quality of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum l.) is influenced by fractionation of nitrogen fertilization
(2019-03-05)Nitrogen (N) fertilization is one of the most common agronomic practice to increase wheat grain yield and protein content. However, the beneficial effects of nitrogen fertilization on grain yield and quality vary significantly ... -
Balancing agronomic outcomes and greenhouse gas-nitrous oxide emissions using enhanced efficiency fertilizers in canola production.
(2020-03-10)Due to a low Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), canola production requires a high N input to optimize crop yields. The large amount of soil N surplus impacts the fertilizer investment for farmers and poses risks to the ... -
