Abstract
THE beneficial effects of additions of nitrogen on the availability of fertilizer phosphorus have been investigated with various techniques, such as when nitrogen is mixed with the soil and phosphate added as placement, when both nitrogen and phosphate are added separately or when nitrogen and phosphate are added in intimate association. With the view of investigating the influence of nitrogen on the availability of fertilizer phosphorus, under conditions of both nutrient sources being mixed with the soil, work described here was carried out on two soils (important characteristics given in Table 1) using wheat as a test-crop through greenhouse pot-culture experiments, involving the use of radiotracer techniques.
