Examination of the Productivity and Physiological Responses of Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) to Nitrapyrin and Foliar Fertilizer Treatments

Nutrient stress has been known as the main limiting factor for maize growth and yield. Nitrapyrin, as a nitrification inhibitor—which reduces nitrogen loss—and foliar fertilizer treatments have been successfully used to enhance the efficiency of nutrient utilization, however, the impacts of these tw...
