Wheat was grown under a range of leaching conditions in columns of loamy sand soil to which N had been added as calcium nitrate. Rates of water addition up to depths of 4.5 cm per week were found to have little effect on the amount of N taken up at 6 weeks after seeding, but higher rates of water addition progressively reduced uptake. Distributions of root length in the soil profile varied markedly with leaching intensity and were found to be related to the distributions of mineral N that had existed in the soil as the roots were growing.
