Samples of Davidson scl soil, contained in polyethylene bags, were treated with N‐SERVE, a nitrification inhibitor, and buried during the course of fall bedding to a depth commensurate to normal practices for fall applied fertilizer. N‐SERVE effectively inhibited nitrification in these soil samples for a 4‐month period during winter and early spring whereas, in untreated samples, nitrification proceeded throughout the test and added NH 4 ‐N was completely nitrified during the same period.
