Urea is the primary source of nitrogen (N) used in agriculture. However, it has a high N loss potential through volatilization. Various mechanisms can be employed to reduce volatilization losses by inhibiting urease. When added urea, iodine (I) for this purpose. Thus, study aimed determine whether adding I urea reduces and increases uptake maize plants. Maize plants were cultivated greenhouse conditions 36 days. treatments applied at 15 days testing, including iodine-enriched conventional no application. Additionally, concerning from was conducted using same under environmental conditions. Iodine incorporated adhered an concentration 0.2%, potassium iodate (KIO3). Under controlled over short period time, observed that application increased chlorophyll b content, root accumulation, total accumulation compared with urea. Moreover, reduced 11% The reduction correlated positively b, chlorophyll, favored treatment. Our findings demonstrated efficient promising strategy increase
