The preference of maize plants for nitrate improves fertilizer N recovery efficiency in an acid soil partially because of alleviated Al toxicity
NH4+ and NO3− are the two main inorganic N forms available for plant growth, and NO3− is the preferred N source of maize (Zea mays L.) grown in acid soils. However, the mechanisms for this preference and its cont...

Case of a stronger capability of maize seedlings to use ammonium being responsible for the higher 15N recovery efficiency of ammonium compared with nitrate
Matching a crop’s nitrogen (N) preference with the specific form of N is critical to enhance N recovery efficiency (NRE). Many studies show that maize (Zea mays L.) has a preference for NH4+ uptake over NO3−, but...
