Millar, H.C. | Smith, F.B. | Brown, P.E.
Experiments were conducted to study the effect of decomposing wheat straw, oat straw, sudan grass, cane sorghum, flax, cornstalks, millet, hemp, soybeans, sweet clover, red clover, and alfalfa on the accumulation of nitrates in the soil, the base exchange capacity of the soil, and the carbon and humus contents of the soil. The results obtained showed that the accumulation of nitrates in the soil was significantly correlated with the nitrogen content of the material added.
