Extract

The major portion of nitrogen nutrition of flooded rice is met through the mineralization of organic forms of N present in soil. This is true even when fertilizer nitrogen is added. The mineralization of organic matter under waterlogged conditions is governed mainly by the prevailing chemical and biological conditions. In recent years, attempts have been made to characterize the products of hydrolysis of soil organic nitrogen (Asami & Hara, 1970; Shinde, 1978; Subba Rao & Ghosh, 1981). Information on different fractions of nitrogen in waterlogged rice soils is scanty.
