Abstract: | The leaching of subterranean clover-derived N (15N) was investigated in a laboratory and a field experiment. In both experiments 30 cm i.d. ×50cm soil columns were used.
In the laboratory experiment the clover material was buried in the soil in mesh bags, and leaching of clover-derived N was
compared to leaching of added NH

−N over a period of 75 days at 20°C. During that time 75% of the clover-N was released from the mesh bags and 17% of the clover-N,

In the field experiment 6 lysimeters and 7 control microplots were constructed. The clover material was buried in soil (to
the soil of two control microplots within mesh bags) in October. During one year 2% of the added clover-N was leached. This
was despite a release of 65% of the N from the mesh bag contents and despite a 26% loss of the clover-derived N in total from
the controls. |
