Nitrification is a critical step in the global nitrogen cycle involving the biological oxidation of ammonia (NH₃) to nitrite (NO₂⁻ ) and then to nitrate (NO₃⁻). The first step in nitrification is carried out by NH₃-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA), and the second by NO₂⁻-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). In addition...
A study was made to evaluate the effect of different rates of N
fertilization on Nugaines wheat. The variable N treatments provided
different N regimes as a basis for evaluating potential diagnostic
tests for assessing the N status of the wheat plant. The crop was
grown in Lane county during...
The effect of moisture stress and nutrients on the rate of growth
of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Var. Gaines) seedlings was studied.
A special apparatus in which the moisture stress of several perlite
cells could be maintained constant by osmotic solutions was used.
Predetermined amounts of nitrogen were added to...
The effect of different soil moisture levels on the amount and
location of NO₃ -N accumulation in the soil profile were studied.
The cultivars used in this study were Mcdermid, a soft white
winter wheat, and Hudson, a medium early winter barley.
Moisture treatments simulating dry, normal and wet fallow...
Nitrification and denitrification are major biological processes transforming nitrogen (N) in soils to plant available N, highly leachable nitrate (NO₃⁻) and gaseous N oxides. Although many studies in the past have studied N cycling communities, the effect of increased N inputs on ammonia-oxidizer and denitrifier population dynamics is still under...
The effects of different fallow moisture levels and tillage
systems on the amount of nitrate-nitrogen accumulation in the 0-30 cm
soil profile were studied.
Fallow moisture treatments simulating typical dry, normal and
wet precipitation cycles were established on trial plots.
Data were obtained for nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and
nitrogen mineralization...
Effects of different tillage systems on nitrate-nitrogen
accumulation in a 120 cm profile and on soil structure in the top 30 cm
of the profile were studied under a fallow-wheat rotation.
Treatment effects on nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and soil
aggregation were measured.
Fallow tillage treatments consisting of bare fallow, stubble-mulch...
