Nitrogen (N) is an essential determinant of strawberry growth and productivity. However, plants exhibit varying preferences for sources of nitrogen, which ultimately affects its use efficiency. Thus, it is imperative to determine the preferred N source for the optimization of indoor strawberry production. This study employed the 15N-tracer techniqu...

Vanda is an economically important orchid that is widely produced in Thailand. Usually, growers apply large amounts of fertilizer throughout the plant, covering the leaves and roots to ensure good quality products. Nitrogen fertilizer, in terms of ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3−), is generally used as an N source. In addition, nitrogen organic fe...

Soybean plants require a large amount of nitrogen either from nitrogen fixation in nodules or nitrogen absorption from roots. It is known that nitrate, a major inorganic nitrogen compound in upland soils, represses nodule growth and nitrogen fixation. Rapid and reversible inhibition of nodule growth and nitrogen fixation activity was found in the h...

Article
Full-text available
Soy sauce cake, a waste product by a soy sauce production, contains a high concentration of protein, so it is a good material for animal feeds and fertilizers. However, soy sauce cake contains a high concentration of salt (NaCl), so the application of a high amount of soy sauce cake as a fertilizer may induce salt stress of the crops and salt accum...

Soybean plants can fix atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) in root nodules by the association with soil bacteria rhizobia. Soybeans also absorb soil N from the roots, mainly in the form of nitrate in the upper fields. However, it has been known that nitrate strongly inhibits nodulation, nodule growth and nitrogen fixation activity of soybean nodules. Many...
