Can nitrogen be stored in the soil?
Nitrogen is leaky. In fact only 5% of all nitrogen manufactured reaches your mouth. Hydrogen and Nitrogen are so leaky that they must be combined in a molecule to store it in the soil. Helium is the smallest of all elements and when combined with hydrogen produces the energy of the Sun. The soil micro-organisms break down the molecules of NH4. The result is the nitrogen is lost every crop year when it is synthetically applied. APP and ATS combined with NH3 will form a more stable form of N in the crystallization process. But stable does not mean stored.since the soil bugs will eventually convert the TAPPS polymer molecule to mobile nitrate. About 6 to 8 weeks of additional ammonic N can be expected when spring applied in TAPPS formulation. The best way to store nitrogen in the soil is with Organic Matter.Organic Matter can store and release ammonic nitrogen timely. So Organic Matter stores and releases organic nitrogen.why cant I build OM to much higher levels? NH3 is a good buy all th
