The oscillatory behavior of the first order nonlinear delay difference equation of the form

$$ x_{n+1} - x_n + p_n x_{n-k}^{alpha} = 0, ~~~ n = 0, 1, 2, ldots  eqno{(*)} $$

is investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition of oscillation for sublinear equation (*) ($ 0 < alpha < 1 $) and an almost sharp sufficient condition of oscillation for superlinear equation (*) ($ alpha > 1 $) are obtained.
