Summary

An appreciable loss of gaseous N from added urea was recorded in two sub-tropical soils of East Pakistan under laboratory controlled conditions, markedly accentuated by the presence of decomposable organic materials which increased ammonification and tended to decrease nitrate accumulation. The addition of bonemeal to the soils had little effect.
