Ammonium (NH 4+) toxicity is a significant ecological and agricultural issue, and an
important phenomenon in cell biology. As a result of increasing soil nitrogen input and …

Cold atmospheric plasmas are weakly ionized gases that can be generated in ambient air.
They produce energetic species (eg electrons, metastables) as well as reactive oxygen …

The search for high yield has identified ammonium toxicity as a problem in arable soils world
wide. Ammonia toxicity can be suppressed by the use of silicon, but this fact still needs to be …

Identifying the thresholds for the positive responses of total net primary productivity (NPP) to
nitrogen (N) enrichment is an essential prerequisite for predicting the benefits of N …

In China, excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers in glasshouses leads to nitrate accumulations
in soil and plants, which then limits productivity. Melatonin, an evolutionarily highly …

An aquaponic system was designed to investigate effects of foliar applications of some micro-
and macro-nutrients on tomato growth and yield in comparison with a hydroponic system …

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of nitrogen (N) forms: ammonium, nitrate, and urea
on maize performance, N uptake and use efficiency, and the grain protein content. The …

Aims Rice is known as an ammonium (NH 4+)-tolerant species. Nevertheless, rice can suffer
NH 4+ toxicity, and excessive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer has raised NH 4+ in many paddy …

The biological nitrogen fixation carried out by some Bacteria and Archaea is one of the most
attractive alternatives to synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. However, with the exception of the …

Ammonium is a paradoxical nutrient ion. Despite being a common intermediate in plant
metabolism whose oxidation state eliminates the need for its reduction in the plant cell, as …
