Abstract
No problem relating to the nutrition of plants has given rise to so much discussion as that of the source of their nitrogen and the methods of its assimilation. It is obviously both a matter of the highest scientific interest, and also, owing to the high tprice of combined nitrogen in manures and the comparative ease with which it is washed out of the soil in the form of nitrates, one of great practical importance to the agriculturist and the community.
