Extract

A laboratory study has been made of nitrification rates of the soil's own nitrogen, ammonium sulphate and certain organic nitrogen compounds. It is shown that nitrification in this soil is substantially normal, with no striking differences from that in soils of other arid regions.

I am indebted to H. Greene and E. M. Crowther for access to their earlier unpublished work on nitrification in Gezira soil, and to O. W. Snow of this Service for advice during the course of this work.
