Popis: Low efficiency of nitrogen (N) fertilization cause high production costs and environmental pollutionso the development of strategies such as zeolites application may help to reduce N losses in production systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of natural causes zeolite (clinoptilolite) application in nitrogen recovery and corn yield (Zea Mays L.), by mineral addition (15, 25 and 35 kg/ha) in nitrogen doses (100 kg ha-1) from urea; It was using a randomized complete block experimental design with four replicates. Zeolite contribution was significant (P
