Question:"On page 196 of the Bulletin for September, 1926, the following statement appears with regard to the nitrogen in poultry manure: "As the nitrogen is usually in the form of an ammonium compound it is a quickly acting fertilizer." We have been under the impression that the nitrogen in a nitrate compound was a quickly acting fertilizer, while in an ammonium compound it was slower in action."
Source of Question:Alabama
Answer/Response:"While the nitrogen in an ammonium compound, such as sulphate of ammonia, is conceded to be a trifle more slowly available than the nitrogen in nitrate salts, such as nitrate of soda, there is really little difference. If we were to put nitrate of soda, in terms of relative availability, at 100, then sulphate of ammonia would rank from 90 to 95. In general fertilizer practice, nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia are considered equally desirable, other things being equal."
