Effect of sampling date on chemical indices of the mineralizable nitrogen in soil Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • In the 1960s and 1970s there was great emphasis on selecting simple laboratory methods to estimate the potentially available soil N that could be routinely used as a method for the N recommendations systems (Keeney and Breniner, 1966; Stanford and Smith, 1976). Many chemical extractants were investigated (acids alkali, salts, water…) as possible tools for assessing how much N may be mineralized, varying the concentration of the extractant, temperature and time of extractions.
