    Notes: Abstract A laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to compare the effects of NH inf4 sup+ and NO inf3 sup- on mineralization of N from 15N-labelled vetch (Vicia villosa Rotn) in an Illinois Mollisol, and to determine the effect of a nitrification inhibitor (nitrapyrin) on mineralization of vetch N when used with NH inf4 sup+ . The addition of either NH inf4 sup+ or NO inf3 sup- (100 and 200 mg N kg-1 soil) significantly increased mineralization of vetch N during incubation for 40 days. The effect was greater with NH inf4 sup+ than with NO inf3 sup- , and a further increase occurred in the presence of nitrapyrin (10 mg kg-1 soil). The addition of NO inf3 sup- retarded the nitrification of NH inf4 sup+ -N derived from vetch.

    Notes: Abstract A pot experiment was conducted to compare the uptake and dry matter production potential of NH inf4 sup+ and NO inf3 sup- and to study the effect of Baythroid, a contact poison for several insect pests of agricultural crops, on growth and N uptake of maize (Zea mays L.). Nitrogen was applied as (15NH4)2SO4, K15NO3, or 15NH4NO3 and in one treatment Baythroid was combined with 15NH4NO3. Source of N had, in general, a nonsignificant effect on dry matter and N yield, but uptake of NO inf3 sup- was significantly higher than that of NH inf4 sup+ when both N sources were applied together. Substantial loss of N occurred from both the sources, with NH inf4 sup+ showing greater losses. Baythroid was found to have a significant positive effect on dry matter yield of both root and shoot; N yield also increased significantly. Uptake of N from both the applied and native sources increased significantly in the presence of Baythroid and a substantial added nitrogen interaction (ANI) was determined. The positive effect of Baythroid was attributed to: (1) a prolonged availability of NH inf4 sup+ due to inhibition of nitrification, (2) an increased availability of native soil N through enhanced mineralization, and (3) an enhanced root proliferation.

    Notes: Abstract Laboratory incubation experiments were conducted in soil to study the influence of the insecticide Baythroid on immobilization-remineralization of added inorganic N, mineralization of organic N, and nitrification of added NH inf4 su+ -N. Baythroid was applied at 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2, and 6.4 μg g-1 soil (active ingredient basis). The treated soils were incubated at 30°C for different time intervals depending upon the experiment. The immobilization and mineralization of N were significantly increased in the presence of Baythroid, the effect being greater with higher doses of the insecticide. Conversely, nitrification was retarded at lower doses of Baythroid and significantly inhibited at higher doses. The results of these studies suggest that excessive amonts of insecticide residues affect different microbial populations differently, leading to changes in nutrient cycling.

    Notes: Summary A pot experiment was conducted to study the transformations of organic and inorganic N in soil and its availability to maize plants. Inorganic N was in the form of15N labelled ammonium sulphate (As) and15N labelledSesbania aculeata (Sa), a legume, was used as organic N source. Plants utilized 20% of the N applied as As; presence of Sa reduced the uptake to 14%. Only 5% of the Sa-N was taken up by the plants and As had no effect on the availability of N from Sa. Losses of N from As were found to be 40% which were reduced to 20% in presence of Sa. Losses of N were also observed from Sa which increased in the presence of As. Application of As had no effect on the availability of soil or Sa-N. However, more As-N was transported into microbial biomass and humus components in the presence of Sa. Plants derived almost equal amounts of N from different sourcesi.e., soil, Sa and As. However, more As-N was transported into the shoots whereas the major portion of nitrogen in the roots was derived from Sa.

    Notes: Summary The availability and turnover in different soil fractions of residual N from leguminous plant material and inorganic fertilizer was studied in a pot culture experiment using wheat as a test crop. Plants utilized 64% of the residual fertilizer N and 20% of the residual legume N. 50–60% of the N taken up by plants was recovered in grain and 4–8% in roots. After harvesting wheat up to 35% and 38% of the residual legume N and fertilizer N, respectively was found in humic compounds. A loss of humus N derived from legume and fertilizer was found during wheat growth but the unlabelled N increased in this fraction. Biomass contained 6% and 8% of the residual legume and fertilizer N, respectively when both were available. The mineralizable component contained upto 28% of both the residual legume and residual fertilizer N. Only a small percentage of the soil N (3–4%) was observed in biomass whereas the mineralizable component accounted for 7–14% of the soil N. In this fraction legume derived N increased during wheat growth whereas unlabelled N increased in both the mineralizable component and microbial biomass. Some loss of N occurred from residual legume and fertilizer N. Nevertheless, a positive total N balance was observed and was attributed to the addition of unlabelled N in the soil-plant system by N2 fixation. The gain in N was equivalent to about 38% of the plant available N in the soil amended with leguminous material. The additional N was concentrated mainly in the mineralizable fraction and microbial biomass, although some addition was also noted in humus fractions.
