A method for the determination of ammoniacal nitrogen in soils is described. It is an extension of the Hissink method for exchangeable bases to ammonium present in the soil. The working details are similar to the Hissink method, except that the leaching process is entirely carried out in the cold. The ammonia is distilled off with magnesium oxide.Using normal sodium chloride as a leaching solution and collecting half a litre of leachings for distillation with magnesia, results were obtained which showed excellent agreement with those by the aeration method. Similar results were obtained using 250 c.c. of 15 per cent, sodium chloride solution, but the results are on an average about 1·6 per cent, lower. With high proportions of ammoniacal nitrogen a second half litre of normal sodium chloride leachings should be taken, or half a litre of 15 per cent, solution used.The leaching method is economical of apparatus and water supply. It is therefore suitable for small laboratories with limited resources. It is fairly rapid: six estimations can be completed in a day.The close agreement of the new method with the aeration method suggests that the amount of ammoniacal nitrogen in the soil at any given time is not an arbitrary quantity depending on conditions of estimation, but a definite amount. It is improbable that any ammonium compounds exist in the soil apart from those which take part in base exchange.

Abstract The present formaldehyde titration method, applicable to ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate samples, has been improved for the analysis of ammoniacal nitrogen in phosphate fertilizers. Samples of 14-35-14 and 28-28-0 fertilizers are analyzed by the improved formaldehyde titration method and the results are compared with the Kjeldahl distillation method. The formaldehyde method is applicable for 14-35-14 and 28-28-0 fertilizer samples, provided the initial pH of the sample solution is adjusted to pH 7.7 prior to the addition of neutral formaldehyde solution. For the analysis of samples of phosphate fertilizers of the same grade, the improved formaldehyde method offers a distinct advantage over the Kjeldahl method, and can be used for the rapid analysis of process control samples.
