Identification of Guinea grasses with increased nitrate interception
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/115805
Abstract
Over application of nitrogen (N)—as urea or manure—to increase yield of forage grasses is a common practice in intensive livestock production systems (e.g., cut and carry systems) in the tropics. Under such systems, excess of N is mostly lost as nitrate through leaching. Minimization of nitrate leaching has both environmental and economic benefits. Albeit fertilization management can minimize nitrate leaching, this is…
