Abstract
The plant part chosen for nitrate tests with diphenylamine depends upon the plant. Negative tests may be obtained if the region is actively utilizing nitrates. Misuse of fertilizers carrying nitrate may be determined by using the diphenylamine test on the injured tissue. There is some indication that the ammonium ion from (NH4)2SO4 may be transformed to the less injurious nitrate ion.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
