... potato production is usually low because of imbalanced use of inorganic fertilizers and low input of organic manure. Over-applying nitrogen(N) also resulted in low quality, which is characterized by vulnerability to rot, higher water content in tubers, and lower commercial value. Therefore, there is a need to improve potato yield and quality through balanced use of N, phosphate(P), and potash(K). 1, record 4, English, - potato%20yield

Azides are a group of both organic and inorganic compounds containing the N3</sub> functional group. In general, azides are reactive and toxic. In fact, inorganic azides are commonly used as preservatives in biological solutions because of the ability of the N3</sub> group to bind tightly to cytochromes and block electron transport and ATP synthesis. All of the heavy metal azides and most, if not all, of the light metal azides are explosive under the right conditions. They must be handled with the utmost care and protected from light, shock, and heat. 2, record 5, English, - light%20metal%20azide
