BENINTENDE, María C. et al. Soil Nitrogen Supply Estimation for Rational Fertilization. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2008, n.37, pp.141-174. ISSN 1851-1716.
Balance method applied to nitrogen fertility diagnosis needs an estimation of the quantity of N supplied by the mineralization process. From the hypothesis that the potentially mineralizable nitrogen (N0) allows estimations of N supply therefore adjusting N fertilizer quantities, we tended to find analytical techniques to make possible speedy N0 estimation, so that they could be used for diagnostic purposes. Seven days anaerobic incubation (N - IA) performed the best adjustment with N0 (R2 = 0.735) and will allow good N0 estimations from N - IA values. The adjusted lineal model found was: N0 =1.1305 N - IA + 55.275. The N0 found in our experiments ranged from 95 to 247 mg of N kg-1 and represented between 6 to 12% of the total N. In addition, we found that sub-superficial layers mineralized almost 43% of the quantities mineralized in the superficial one. Comparing direct drilling vs ploughed soils, we found that soil temperature in direct drilling was 2ºC lower than in ploughed soils during a maize cycle.
