Influence of cropping on N-transformations in tropical soils

Saha D., . (1994) Influence of cropping on N-transformations in tropical soils. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

Irrespective of N treatment cropping decreased almost all forms of inorganic and organic N under investigation except for the non-hydrolysable fraction of organic N in both the soils.The greater reduction in total N due to cropping in N-treated systems corresponded with the higher increase in N-uptake by the crop.Results from a soil N balance showed that a greater amount of N was unaccounted for in N-saturated soils.Fixed NH4-N must be taken into consideration in any N-transformation study in tropical soils.
