A large and deep root system underlies high nitrogen-use efficiency in maize production.

A large and deep root system underlies high nitrogen-use efficiency in maize production.

Excessive N fertilization results in low N-use efficiency (NUE) without any yield benefits and can have profound, long-term environmental consequences including soil acidification, N leaching and increased production of greenhouse gases. Improving NUE in crop production has been a longstanding, worl...
