Plants can take up organic nitrogen also.
Which type of organic N compounds plants can utilize?
What kind of consequences organic nitrogen as N source has to plants?
Would it have influence on N efficiency?
Does it have influence on quality of plants?
@ Jukka, plants generally take organic N from manures, seed meals, blood meal , leather dust etc. Organic N in the form of amino acids and sucrose can be utilized by plants. Generally, organic N use efficiency by plants are much higher, therefore, it has an influence on plant quality.
Organic nitrogen present in form of carbon chain and most of N present in organic form like protein, mucoprotein, amino suger, muramic acid, enzymes and nucleic acid. Most of organic nitrogen available upon mineralization and few humic form which is organic in nature absorbed by plant and it have influence NUE of plants.
