Ammonium and nitrate ions from soil organic N mineralization are the predominant N mineral forms available to plants. The ion ratio and distribution along the soil profile show daily fluctuations and oscillate seasonally. NH4+ and NO3– soil content were evaluated in two adjacent plots, one of them farmed continuously with barley, soybean and barley in a no-tillage system for more than 10 years, with pH 6.0 and fertilized with P and K. A second plot was maintained undisturbed, with native […]
