  • Published:
Fertilizer research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A review is made of the recent literature pertaining to the reactions and processes that soil and fertilizer N undergo in lowland rice soils in relation to the improved N management and overal N economy of lowland rice soils. Topics discussed include: nitrogen leaching, ammonium fixation and release, ammonia volatilization, N2 fixation, mineralization-immobilization, nitrification-denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction, urea hydrolysis, critical pathways for control of nitrogen loss.
