Upload NowThis article throws light upon the six main factors that affect nitrogen loss through de-nitrification. The factors are: 1. Organic Matter 2. Moisture Content 3. Aeration 4. Soil Reaction 5. Amount of Nitrate Present 6. Temperature. Factor # 1. Organic Matter: Because denitrifying bacteria require organic matter as a source of carbon (and nitrogen) for […]

How to Minimise Leaching Losses of Nitrogen in Soil?
Article shared by :
This article will guide you about how to minimise leaching losses of nitrogen in soil. Various experimental evidences show that leaching losses of N may be minimised in different soils by following various methods and sources of nitrogen application. Besides, in order to overcome leaching or de-nitrification losses of N, various nitrification inhibitors may be […]

After reading this article you will learn about nitrogen in relation to physiology, growth and response of crops. Nitrogen in Relation to Physiology of Plants Nitrate (NO3—N) and ammonium (NH4—N) are two major forms of inorganic nitrogen taken up by the plants. Most of the ammonium has to be incorporated into organic compounds in the […]
