The changes in soil pH and mineral N concentrations of cattle and sheep urine patches were compared to those occurring in fertilizer urea placement zones in a study in Niger. Urine and fertilizer solutions each containing 400 mg N (800 kg N/ha) were spread onto individual plots covering a surface...

The application of nitrogen in a soil under agricultural production is subject to several pathways including de-nitrification, leaching and recovery by an annual crop. This is as well greatly influenced by the management practices, nitrogen source and soil conditions. The main objective of this s...
