Effects of nitrogen application on ammonium assimilation and microenvironment in the rhizosphere of drip-irrigated sunflower under plastic mulch

This study investigated the effect of nitrogen application on the rhizosphere soil microenvironment of sunflower and clarified the relationship between ammonium assimilation and the microenvironment.In a field experiment high (HN, 190 kg/hm2), medium (MN, 120 kg/hm2) and low nitrogen (CK, 50 kg/hm2) treatments were made to replicate plots of sunflo
