In field experiments, soil fertilized in February generally had a lower mineral-N content at sowing than soil fertilized in May. Deeper application (17 cm) in February did not increase soil mineral-N content to 0.2 m depth in May but addition of nitrification inhibitor (N-serve) did at one site where it appeared to slow the movement of mineral N into the subsoil (0.2-0.4 m). Recovery of 15N by wheat, sown at 2 sites in June, showed that neither fertilizer management practice, application depth nor N-serve affected 15N recovery. Total recovery of 15N in soil and plant after wheat harvest was lower (about 74 percent) for February-application than for May-application (greater than 94 percent). Similarly, total 15N recovery after sorghum was lower the earlier the fertilizer was applied. Use of N-serve with the fertilizer application had no effect in conserving 15N applied for wheat or sorghum. However, deeper (17 cm) placement of N than normal (7 cm) placement of N than normal (7 cm) promoted higher total recoveries, and therefore reduced losses, of applied 15 N at the 3 sites.
