Sodium content of grass was largely determined by Na content and K number of the soil. At a given Na content of soil, the Na content of grass decreased with increasing K number of the soil but the decrease was small where K number was >30. Na content of grass increased with increasing soil Na; the increase was higher at low- than at high soil-K status. K fertilizing lowered grass Na at low soil-K status. Soil-Na content can be used in the Netherlands as a basis for Na-fertilizer recommendations, since K number has generally reached a level at which it has an almost constant effect on Na content of grass. Influences of the K and Na status of the soil on the Na content of grass can be expressed as the ratios (15 X K number)/(Na2O+6) for sandy soils and (25X K number)/(Na2O + 14) for clay soils, the numerator at K numbers > 30 being the same as that at K number=30. With increasing ratios, the Na content of grass decreases. The influence on herbage -Na level of a given amount of Na in K fertilizers is correlated to these ratios. The influence of N fertilizers on Na content of grass was not clear and the influence of Mg fertilizers was negligible. Chile nitrate and Nad affected the Na of grass similarly, but Chile nitrate differed from NaCl in decreasing the Ca content; both fertilizers slightly lowered the Mg content of grass. Herbs and clovers contained more Na than grass does. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

Excessive nitrogen fertilizer application in greenhouse vegetable production (GVP) is of scientific and public concern because of its significance to international environmental sustainability. We conducted a meta-analysis using 1174 paired observations from 69 publications on the effects of nitrogen fertilizer application and reducing nitrogen fertilizer application on the nitrogen losses on a broad scale. We found that the increase in nitrogen loss is much higher than that in production gain caused by excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer: nitrate leaching (+187.5%), ammonium leaching (+28.1%), total nitrogen leaching (+217.0%), nitrous oxide emission (+202.0%), ammonia emission (+176.4%), nitric oxide emission (+543.3%), yield (+35.7%) and nitrogen uptake (+24.5%). Environmental variables respond nonlinearly to nitrogen fertilizer application, with severe nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emission when the application rate exceeds 570 kg N/ha and 733 kg/N, respectively. The effect of nitrogen fertilizer on yield growth decreases when the application rate exceeds 302 kg N/ha. Appropriate reduction in nitrogen fertilizer application rate substantially mitigates the environmental cost, for example, decreasing nitrate leaching (−32.4%), ammonium leaching (−6.5%), total nitrogen leaching (−37.3%), ammonia emission (−28.4%), nitrous oxide emission (−38.6%) and nitric oxide emission (−8.0%), while it has no significant effect on the nitrogen uptake and yield.

Abstract. The MERLIN model was applied on the results of a field-scale manipulation experiment with decreased nitrogen (N) deposition in an N saturated forest ecosystem in the Netherlands. The aim was to investigate the mechanisms that could explain the observed rapid response of nitrate as a result of the decreased N input. Calibrating the model to pre-treatment data revealed that, despite the high atmospheric N input, the trees relied on N mineralised from refractory organic matter (ROM) for their growth. MERLIN could simulate only the fast response of nitrate leaching after decreased input if this ROM mineralisation rate was decreased strongly at the time of the manipulation experiment.
