Microbial biomass nitrogen and extractable organic N in extractions by 0.05M K2SO4 and 0.01M CaCl2 were studied in a long-term experiment with successive growing of silage maize. The highest content of microbial biomass N was measured for manure treatment, it was by 38-133 % higher than for the control. In treatments with applications of mineral N fertilizers microbial biomass N was lower by 22-30 % than in the control. Extractable organic N was also lower in treatments with mineral N fertilizers in comparison with the control: by 23 % in ammonium sulphate treatment and by 29 % in DAM. The highest concentration of extractable organic N was determined for manure treatment. There was a positive correlation (r=0.44-0.9) between microbial biomass N and extractable organic N in the extractions.
