Immobilization of nitrogen in the presence of sucrose has been compared in 24 soils differing widely in origin and composition. Marked differences were found in the amounts of nitrogen immobilized in the various soils, these being correlated with the pH, phosphate content and carbon/nitrogen ratios of the soils.
