biological nitrogen especially in the form of amino acids (or parts thereof) is always more efficient for the plant.
If I remember correctly nitrate gets taken up with the water stream (there is no choice for the plant), transported to the leaf, changed to ammonium (insect trouble says hello!), ammonium transported back down to the roots where…
