Is nitrate reduction beneficial to farmers?
Nitrate reduction is not good for farmers. Nitrate reduction is the substitution of nitrates for oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor for bacteria. This means the nitrate (NO3-) then becomes nitrite (NO2-), and if the process stays anaerobic and continues, then the nitrite is reduced to nitrogen gas (N2) which then escapes from the soil. Many plants thrive on nitrates, however if they are reduced to nitrogen gas, then the available nitrogen is reduced and the plants don't do as well. This is why a good deal of fertilizers that farmers put on their fields are chock-full of nitrates.
How does nitrate affect plant growth?
nitrate helps increase plant growth. Nitrate helps build protein in the plant which makes plants grow. Nitrate is found in fertilisers, which farmers place on their crops to make them grow. So yes, nitrate affects plant growth but in a good way!
Why do some farmers put ammonium nitrate on there farmland?
because plants need nitrogen to make proteins
Why legumes have root modules?
1.It is so because that converts the atmospheric nitrogento nitrate and nitrite.2.Even it contains the important components like flavons.3.the most important is the presence of leghaemoglobin.
Where can carnivorous plants be found growing?
Usually in bogs and other swampy areas where nitrate levels in the soil are very low.
Why use ammonium nitrate in explosive?
The reason why ammonium nitrate is being used in explosives because ammonium nitrate is cheaper than the other ingredients/materials in making explosive devices. Unlike the others, you can purchase this thing easily without being asked for the exact usage. it is because farmers usually used this as fertilizers.
If one burns out a stump using potassium nitrate will the ground then be safe for growing vegetables?
Yes it would be safe to grow vegetables
Explain why farmers regularly add nitrate fertilizers to their field?
It's not entirely true to say, "...regularly add nitrate fertilizers..." since farmers in the US generally select the kind of fertilizers to use based on the nutrient needs of the crop, timing of application, and price of the fertilizer material. Nitrate fertilizers are one form they can use to get nitrogen, possibly the single most important nutrient, to their crops. However, nitrates are not always the most appropriate form to use, and so they also use ammonium types such as urea or anhydrous ammonia.
Why are nitrates used to help preserved food?
The ion nitrate used in curing is converted to nitrite by enzymes or bacteria. The nitrite then prevents the bacteria from growing.
Why are nitrates added to many types of processed meat?
The ion nitrate used in curing is converted to nitrite by enzymes or bacteria. The nitrite then prevents the bacteria from growing.
How many mole of nitrate ion in one mole of potassium nitrate?
Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There is one potassium per one nitrate. One mole of potassium nitrate contains one mole of nitrate.
Is silver nitrate a metal or nonmetal?
Silver nitrate is a compound. It consists of the metal silver and the compound nitrate. Nitrate consists of nitrogen and oxygen.
