Abstract: | Summary The influence of continuous cropping and soil test based fertilizer use on the organic nitrogen fractions in the plough layer
has been studied in a Typic Ustochrept soil. Seven years of multiple cropping without manuring caused marked depletion in
all the hydrolysable fractions except unidentified hydrolysable N namely, hexosamine (48.8%), hydrolysable ammonium (23.9%)
and amino acid (7.3%) as compared to an adjacent fallow. Fertilizer nitrogen application maintained the levels of various
forms of N as in the fallow plots and nitrogen in conjunction with phosphorus raised the status of amino acid N. Phosphate
improved the contents of hydrolyzable ammonium and total hydrolyzable N whereas farmyard manure enhanced the latter only.
The system of intensive cropping followed with appreciably high doses of fertilizers favoured greater immobilization of N
in hydrolyzable ammonium and total hydrolyzable fractions.
