Abstract
Pigeonpea and rice plus pigeonpea were grown in field plots, with tensiometers at depths of 90 and 105 cm and a neutron access tube reaching 120 cm. Tagged urea (4% 15N atom excess) solution to provide 60 kg N/ha was applied and displaced, allowing 5 cm irrigation water to infiltrate the plots when the crops were 60 days old. Above ground plant samples together with soil samples collected from 0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60, 60-75 and 75-90 cm soil depths at 20 and 44 h after initiation of leaching were used for 15N determinations. Results show that the migration of the added fertilizer N due to leaching below 105 cm soil depth after 44 h was 1.14% and 0.70% of the added urea-N for pigeonpea and rice plus pigeonpea, respectively. The amounts of added N denitrified and immobilized were estimated to be 14.80 and 2.63% for pigeonpea and 10.16 and 3.00% for rice plus pigeonpea, respectively. The empirical transformation rate coefficents of urea hydrolysis, NH4-oxidation and NO3-reduction at the root zones of the 60-day old crop were 0.040, 0.020 and 0.045/h for pigeonpea and 0.038, 0.018 and 0.030/h for rice plus pigeonpea during the 44 h period
