| description | Most crops are fertilized with high amounts of nitrogen, and have an alarmingly low utilization efficiency. For this reason, the coordination between the fertilizer contribution and the nitrogen requirements of the crop is very important. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to establish new indices to determine nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and to define the amount of assimilated nitrogen, which is used for the formation of green bean plant organs, fertilized with molybdenum nanofertilizer applied foliarly, and combined with edaphic fertilization of ammonium nitrate. The plants were grown in a greenhouse covered with anti-aphid mesh and irrigated with nutrient solution. Three sources of foliar molybdenum (Nanofertilizer, molybdenum Chelate and Sodium Molybdate) were applied in four doses of 0, 5, 10 and 20 ppm Mo, complemented with edaphic fertilization of NH<sub>4</sub>NO<sub>3</sub> (0, 3, 6 and 12 mM of N). As results, the NUE indices showed that with the application of the nanofertilizer, the total biomass production increased 41.65% more than with the application of the chelate, and 36.84% more than with the application of molybdate. In summary, the dose that presented the highest efficiency was 6 mM-N with 10 ppm-Mo. Finally, it is concluded that the use of NUE indices is an important approach that evaluates the fate of nitrogen and accurately estimates plant yield. |
