Nitrate helps wheat seedlings absorb ammonium and urea better. The study looked at how different nitrogen sources affect plant growth. Results showed that nitrate increased amino acids and protein levels in plants. Nitrate also changed how amino acids were processed, leading to better plant growth. Nitrate mainly helps with urea and nitrate assimilation in the shoot of the plant.
