Does potentially mineralizable nitrogen predict maize yield in newly cropped soil? [PDF]
Fallow soils converted to crop use have unpredictable soil organic nitrogen (SON) availability during the growing season, which incentivizes over‐applying fertilizer N by way of compensation.

Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization in Dark Grey Calcareous Floodplain Soil Is Influenced by Tillage Practices and Residue Retention [PDF]
Very little is known about the changes that occur in soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) under an intensive rice-based cropping system following the change to minimal tillage and increased crop residue retention in the Gangetic Plains of ...

A Simple and Rapid Method to Evaluate Potentially Mineralizable Nitrogen in Sewage Sludge Amended Calcareous Soils [PDF]
Potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) can be usually considered as labile nitrogen. Measurement of PMN is expensive and time consuming; therefore, a simpler and more rapid alternative may facilitate routine laboratory analysis.

Exploring Overwintered Cover Crops as a Soil Management Tool in Upper-midwest High Tunnels
High tunnels are an important season extension tool for horticultural production in cold climates, however maintaining soil health in these intensively managed spaces is challenging. Cover crops are an attractive management tool to address issues such as

A SINGLE MEASUREMENT TO PREDICT POTENTIAL MINERALIZABLE NITROGEN [PDF]
Since the early 1970's, soil nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) levels have been used as a basis for N fertilizer recommendations in western Canada. However, soil nitrate N does not represent the supplying power of soil N for plant uptake. Furthermore, the nitrate concentration in soil changes depending on the time and ambient conditions at sampling. Researchers

Extending Cover Crop Benefits with Zone Till Management in Northern Organic Summer Squash Production
Winter annual legume cover crops often fail to reach full maturity by spring vegetable planting dates in northern climates, which prevents maximum nitrogen (N) contributions.

Potentially mineralizable nitrogen in West African lowland rice soils [PDF]
Abstract Nitrogen (N) deficiency is a major constraint to rice production in West Africa. Little information is available on the N supplying capacity of soils used for wetland rice production in West Africa. Potentially mineralizable N, as a measure of N supplying capacity, was determined employing an anaerobic incubation test in 15 diverse soils ...
