Nitrogen fertilizer, however, is also prone to a few forms of losses: by water, and by air. All of these losses, by denitrification, leaching, or immobilization, can cost in underused or unused fertilizer, and losses by nitrous oxide emissions drag on the. Managing for nitrogen crop needs is a main driver for achieving top yields.

Molecules in the air consist of 78 per cent nitrogen. During a lightning storm, the energy of a lightning bolt breaks apart nitrogen molecules, allowing them to form nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rainwater as nitrates, which fall to the ground with the rain and add nitrogen to soil.

Are crops really inefficient at taking up nitrogen? Actually, no — crops take up and store N in grain and also in stalks, stems, leaves, and roots, which can sometimes be overlooked in nitrogen removal calculations, leading some to think that there is more N “lost” than is actually so.
