Nitrate-N in the soil profiles of long-term field experiments
2002
Bircsak, E. | Nemeth, T.
Long-term N fertilization experiments were established with identical treatments at two different growing areas in Hungary: one on a calcareous sandy soil (Orbottyan) and the other on a calcareous chernozem soil (Nagyhorcsok). The aim was to create differences in mineral-N content in the soil profiles in order to determine their N supplying capacity and to establish whether the accumulated nitrate may be regarded as a supply index for crop production. The results showed that under certain environmental conditions N may accumulate in the soil profile in the form of nitrate, resulting from N fertilization in previous years, to such an extent that it must be taken into consideration when determining the fertilizer rates to be applied.
