Sulphur coated urea improves morphological and yield characteristics of transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) through enhanced nitrogen uptake

Imbalanced and non-judicious use of nitrogen in agriculture is one of the major factors responsible for ecological disturbance and threat to biodiversity. Among cultivated crops, nitrogen losses in rice are the highest that resulted in low nitrogen use efficiency. Urea coating with sulphur can deacc...

description Imbalanced and non-judicious use of nitrogen in agriculture is one of the major factors responsible for ecological disturbance and threat to biodiversity.
