One-time nitrogen application boosts ammonia emissions in maize fields
Recently, a research team in the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed that one-time nitrogen (N) application, a labor-saving practice favored by many farmers, increases both soil and canopy ammonia (NH3) emissions in maize fields, while reducing grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency.
