Commercial N fertilizer formulations, ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrates (15-0-14 and 13-0-44) applied at 84 and 168 kg N/ha in 3 or 5 split applications did not affect total marketable yield of dry onion. Application frequencies causing an increase in total amount of N applied during the spring months (Feb.-Apr.) increased marketable yield by 5 MT/ha. Bulb decay was the highest when ammonium nitrate was applied, whereas the least number of decayed bulbs resulted from sodium nitrate applications. Plants grown with potassium nitrate (13-0-44) were most susceptible to cold injury. Ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate applications produced the highest percentage of onions that bolted. The lowest percentage of plants showing bolting incidence resulted from calcium nitrate applications. Bolting of onions was closely associated with rapid growth and increased onion size. However, cold injury and bulb decay were not influenced by these growth factors.

The effects of heavy applications of nitrogen from six different sources on yields and leaf composition of intensively managed coffee, and on acidity of a Los Guineos clay, were determined under typical conditions in the Coffee Region of Puerto Rico. Lowest yields were obtained when nitrogen was applied as sodium nitrate, while applications of ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate-lime, and urea resulted in the production of similar high yields of coffee. Coffee leaves from plots on which the different sources of nitrogen were used were similar in nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus contents. However, leaves from the sodium nitrate plots were highest in sodium content and those from the ammonium sulfate plots were highest in manganese content. Soil pH was lowest in the ammonium sulfate, urea, and ammonium nitrate plots, and highest in the sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and ammonium nitrate-lime plots. Soil from the sodium nitrate plots was highest in exchangeable sodium. It is evident that sodium nitrate should not be used as a source of nitrogen for coffee. The desirability of using nitrogen sources other than ammonium sulfate on soils with a high content of manganese where this element can cause severe toxicity of coffee is also discussed.

The Seebeck coefficient, εT, of the thermocell Ag(T)/AgNO3 in NaNO3 − KNO3/Ag (T + ΔT) was measured as a function of silver nitrate concentration and temperature. Extrapolation of the results to unit mole fraction, N, of AgNO3 gave the value εT0 = − 277.5 − 0.136T °C (µV deg−1).For several mixed melts of AgNO3 and an alkali nitrate the function [Formula: see text] was calculated and shown to be linear in N. P was extrapolated to finite values for the pure alkali nitrates.

A comparative analysis of the results of our polythermal study of the ternary systems sodium (potassium, cesium) nitrate – water – triethylamine has been carried out to estimate the efficiency of the use of triethylamine in the extractive crystallization of alkali metal nitrates from water–salt solutions containing 43.0, 44.0, 45.0, 46.0, and 47.0 wt. % sodium nitrate in the range of 10.0–25.0°C, 20.0, 21.0, and 22.0 wt.% potassium nitrate and 18.0, 19.0, 20.0 and 21.0 wt. % cesium nitrate in the range of 20.0–25.0°C. The dependences of the yield of these salts on the amount of triethylamine added and temperature have been found. It has been established that the maximum yield of sodium nitrate (79.4%) is observed for the aqueous solution with 47 wt.% salt upon the introduction of 90 wt.% triethylamine at 25.0° C. The maximum yield in the systems potassium (cesium) nitrate – water – triethylamine was 68.9% (22 wt. % potassium nitrate solution) and 66.2% (21 wt. % cesium nitrate solution) at 20.0° C and 90 wt. % amine content.
