Nitrogen (N) fertilizers are a necessity in order to meet mankind's need for food and fiber, and N applications can reduce the cost per ton to grow a crop by 30 to 50%. Nitrogen is present in soil and may be applied in both organic and inorganic forms. Organic N is biologically "mineralized" to inorganic ammonium-nitrogen (NH4-N), which is subsequently "nitrified" to nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N). Mineralization and nitrification are
