“…On the other hand, other N fertilizers, such as ammonium chloride, improved the yield of ratoon in sugarcane during the first cycle but decreased the yield in subsequent cycles. As sugarcane is moderately sensitive to soil salinity, the decrease in yield could be attributed to the saline effect caused by the residual Clfrom NH 4 Cl - [82]. Similarly, the application of NH 4 Clhas provoked the accumulation of cadmium in wheat due to the increased Clconcentration in the soil [83].…”

Ammonium Phytotoxicity and Tolerance: An Insight into Ammonium Nutrition to Improve Crop Productivity

Ammonium sensitivity is considered a globally stressful condition that affects overall crop productivity. The major toxic symptom associated with ammonium nutrition is growth retardation, which has been associated with a high energy cost for maintaining ion, pH, and hormone homeostasis and, eventually, the NH3/NH4+ level in plant tissues. While certain species/genotypes exhibit extreme sensitivity to ammonium, other species/genotypes prefer ammonium to nitrate as a form of nitrogen. Some of the key tolerance mechanisms used by the plant to deal with NH4+ toxicity include an enhanced activity of an alternative oxidase pathway in mitochondria, greater NH4+ assimilation plus the retention of the minimum level of NH4+ in leaves, and/or poor response to extrinsic acidification or pH drop. Except for toxicity, ammonium can be considered as an energy-efficient nutrition in comparison to nitrate since it is already in a reduced form for use in amino acid metabolism. Through effective manipulation of the NH4+/NO3 ̶ ratio, ammonium nutrition can be used to increase productivity, quality, and resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses of crops. This review highlights recent advancements in ammonium toxicity and tolerance mechanisms, possible strategies to improve ammonium tolerance, and omics-based understanding of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in plants.

“…The continuous and excessive use of high saline fertilizers, such as KCl, has hampered agricultural systems, mainly due to the Clin their composition (Megda, Mariano, Leite, Megda, & Trivelin, 2019). High saline doses generally used in crops accumulate in the soil, increasing the solution osmotic pressure, impairing the development of plants and living organisms in the soil.…”

The continuous use of KCl may not be sustainable in the long term in agricultural systems. High doses used in crops accumulate in the soil and plants, hindering the metabolic processes of soil organisms. This study assessed the soil microbial activity in response to the application of K sources in banana crop and effects on microbial C. The experimental design was completely randomized with four K sources: potassium nitrate (KNO3), potassium chloride (KCl), potassium sulfate (K2SO4), and monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) at 200 mg kg-1 of K2O, besides the control (without K) and combinations KCl:K2SO4. KCl application increased microbial activity 7 days after incubation, with gradual reduction over time. The isolated application of K2SO4 and the combination KCl: K2SO4 at the ratio 60: 40% increased total CO2 released by the microbiota. K2SO4 source had the highest microbial biomass C (MBC), as well as the 60: 40 combinations. Isolated application of K sources, especially with high chloride concentration, reduces the soil microbial activity and MBC.

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer of the urea type is very commonly used in Indonesia. The demand for this fertilizer is expected to increase, so an alternative is needed as a complement. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is a by-product produced in the soda ash industry. This compound contains 26% N, which can be an alternative source of N nutrients for plants. The level of the following element, namely chlorine (Cl), is relatively high, so it is a concern that might affect the plant growth. This field experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of the application of ammonium chloride combined with potash fertilizers on the growth, production, and uptake of N and Cl nutrients in sweet corn plants. The trial was designed in a randomized group with nine treatments of 0%, 100%, 150%, and 200% N, combined with potassium sources from KCl and K2SO4. As a comparison, the source of N is urea at a dose of 100% N is referred to as the standard N treatment. Parameters observed included plant height, the weight of corn cobs and corn stover, N and Cl nutrient uptakes in seeds, leaves, and stems. The results showed that the application of ammonium chloride combined with different K sources markedly affected plant height, cob and plant stover weight, and N and Cl uptakes of sweet corn compared to controls. Applying N-ammonium chloride with KCl and K2SO4 showed no significant effect in growth and yield compared to standard N. The N dose showed no significant effect on plant growth and yield compared to the standard N dose. Keywords: by-product, nitrogen fertilizer, soda ash
