Precision is key to innovations in the plastics and polymers space. The quality and consistency of polymers directly impact the functionality of these materials, whether this is in everyday items like ...

Nitrogen is often the most limiting nutrient in growing plants. When deficient, plant yields and quality are reduced. However, excessive nitrogen applications could cause concerns in water quality and ...

AMES, Iowa – The soil fertility tests farmers have used for decades to measure nitrogen levels don’t account for the vast majority of the nitrogen in soils, so Iowa State University scientists helped ...

The end-of-season corn stalk nitrate test (CSNT) is a simple, inexpensive tool that can be used to assess the nitrogen (N) status of a corn crop at the end of the growing season. Data from studies ...

Nitrogen is an essential element for living organisms, needed to build DNA, proteins and chlorophyll. Although nitrogen makes up nearly 80% of the air we breathe, it’s availability to plants and ...
