Applying nitrogen—corn’s most important and trickiest nutrient—doesn’t do a lick of good if it escapes into the air or, even worse, into water sources before plants can use it. Products that slow the ...

While agriculture producers apply nitrogen fertilizer to supply nutrients to their crops, they can’t always keep those nutrients in the soil for maximum efficiency, often losing them into the ...

Corn requires a lot of nitrogen, approximately 1.2 pounds of it for every bushel of corn produced. That means that a 200-bushels-per-acre harvest will require 240 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Most of ...

Two nitrification-denitrification systems were used to determine the possible inhibitory and/or toxic effects of supplemental chromium and nickel addition to the nitrification-denitrification process ...

In collaboration with professors at the University, researchers are working on a new breed of corn that reduces nitrogen loss. Connor Sible, research assistant professor in ACES, discussed his team’s ...

Measurement of nutrients within wastewater is becoming increasingly important both for end-of-pipe monitoring of discharges and for process control. Current control strategies for optimising the ...

When his team sampled stream water, they could tell that up to half of the nitrous oxide came from the process of nitrification in agricultural soils. The analysis also revealed what Yu calls "hot ...

Du Pont of Canada has been operating a full-scale nitrification-denitrification plant for nylon intermediates wastewater since 1973 at its Maitland Works on the St. Lawrence River. Nylon intermediates ...
