| ABSTRACT |
| Laboratory incubation experiment was conducted to study the effect of lime nitrogen(LN) on transformation of urea-N in three paddy soils. The results showed that LN had an inhibitory effect on urease activity in these soils especially in the first 5 days, and that in the first 20 days of incubation, the amount of NH4+-N derived from urea was lower in the soil with LN than in the soil without LN. While after 30 days the amount of NH4+-N was higher in the mature haplic paddy soil developed on Quaternary red clay(MHPS) with LN than that in the soil without LN. The amount of NH3-N volatilized was decreased in the earlier stage and increased in the later stage of incubation in the MHPS by the addition of LN. |
