On the other hand, nitrate in fertilizers can partially prevent pistachio shell the absorption of chlorine and the effects of salinity
What is worth mentioning is not using fertilizers containing ammonium and vice versa
Nitrate fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate and potassium nitrate in soils with
High alkalinity (pHs above 7.8 and 8). Because in the soil initially ammonium by
Nitrobacter bacteria convert to nitrite and then nitrite to nitrosomonas bacteria
Nitrate is converted. Nitrobacter bacteria are not very sensitive to alkaline pHs.
While nitrosomonas bacteria are sensitive to alkaline pHs and nitrite to nitrate
It does not convert and as a result causes the accumulation of nitrate which is toxic to plants and
It is also destructive to the ozone layer.
