    Notes: Abstract A pot experiment was conducted to compare the uptake and dry matter production potential of NH+ 4 and NO– 3 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– 3 was significantly higher than that of NH+ 4 when both N sources were applied together. Substantial loss of N occurred from both the sources, with NH+ 4 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+ 4 due to inhibition of nitrification, (2) an increased availability of native soil N through enhanced mineralization, and (3) an enhanced root proliferation.

    Notes: Summary A pot experiment was conducted to study the N availability to wheat and the loss of 15N-labelled fertilizer N as affected by the rate of rice-straw applied. The availability of soil N was also studied. The straw was incorporated in the soil 2 or 4 weeks before a sowing of wheat and allowed to decompose at a moisture content of 60% or 200% of the water-holding capacity. The wheat plants were harvested at maturity and the roots, straw, and grains were analysed for total N and 15N. The soil was analysed for total N and 15N after the harvest to determine the recovery of fertilizer N in the soil-plant system and assess its loss. The dry matter and N yields of wheat were significantly retarded in the soil amended with rice straw. The availability of soil N to wheat was significantly reduced due to the straw application, particularly at high moisture levels during pre-incubation, and was assumed to cause a reduction in the dry matter and N yields of wheat. A significant correlation (r=0.89) was observed between the uptake of soil N and the dry matter yield of wheat with different treatments. In unamended soil 31.44% of the fertilizer N was taken up by the wheat plants while 41.08% of fertilizer N was lost. The plant recovery of fertilizer N from the amended soil averaged 30.78% and the losses averaged 45.55%

    Notes: Summary A chemical measure of soil nitrogen (N) availability has been evaluated. The method involved the estimation of initial mineral N, plus mineralizable N released with 0.05N KMnO4 in 1NH2SO4. The results obtained correlated highly significantly with the N uptake by wheat plants (r=0.72,P〈0.01).

    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.

    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.
