Volatility is one of the things you’ll want to be prepared to address this season, depending on your nitrogen source. Nitrogen inhibitors, often referred to as stabilizers, are increasingly used by ...

Nitrous oxide, considered to be a super pollutant, is the third most important greenhouse gas and the most significant ozone-layer depleting substance emitted today. Its human-induced emissions, which ...

BACKGROUND: Soil enzymes regulate terrestrial nutrient cycles, and their activities are sensitive to environmental change. Facing climate warming, there are still contradictions over soil enzymes of ...

Abstract: A fiber-optic urea sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Mach-Zehnder interference (MZI) combined principle was designed and implemented. By plating gold film on the ...

The most common method of measuring urease activity is to add a colorimetric assay agent for ammonia (e.g., Nessler’s reagent) to a solution of hydrolyzed urea. The absorbance of the solution at a ...

Microbial assays are a technique to assess a compound’s potency or concentration. This is carried out by exposing microorganisms to the compound and determining its effect on them. Microbial assays ...

Young turkeys respond to protein, especially levels of the essential amino acids methionine and lysine. Ten amino acids are essential and must be provided in the diet to avoid restricting growth ...

Quantifying urease activity is an important task for Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation research. A new urease activity microplate assay using a fluorescent pH indicator is presented. The method ...

With several governments around the world pursuing limits on nitrogen fertiliser use in agriculture, how would farmers adapt if the Australian government took a similar approach? Fertiliser production ...

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers have become so costly to farmers, the energy sector and the environment that everyone seems open to alternatives. But in today’s high production systems, driving ...
