Introduction Nitrogen mineralization is the process by which organic N is
converted to plant available inorganic forms .Most of the nitrogen (N) in the environment is in forms that are unavailable for plant uptake .
Use of plant residues as organic nutrient source is relatively simple for the farmers compared to the application of manure. Incorporating plant residues into agricultural soils can sustain organic carbon content, improve soil physical properties, enhance biological activities and increase nutrient availability
In the short-term, incorporation of plant residues provides the energy and nutrients for microbial growth and activity, acts as a driving force for the mineralization–immobilization processes in the soil and is a source of nitrogen (N) for plants .In the long-term, incorporation of crop residues is important for the maintenance of organic carbon (C) and N stocks in the nutrient pool of arable soils .The N availability from these residues depends on the amount of N mineralized or immobilized during decomposition.

Residue:Whatever remains after something else has been taken, separated, removed, or designated; remnant; remainder.
Plant residue:Defined as the vegetative plant(crop/trees) material left on a ground after its harvesting, prunning or processesing or grazzing.Ex: stalks, stems, leaves, roots, and weeds.
Crop residue:Residues which left after harvesting of crop or during training and pruunning in horticultural crops and remainder after their prossesing.

Chemical composition of plant residues:
Plant residues /material may be classified underthree major chemical groups:Polysaccharides:these arelarge group of carbon compounds, and made
upof simple monosaccharides units like glucose etc. cellulose and hemicelluloseare most important polysaccharides and they accumulate in plants tissues. They form the sekelton of plant tissues.
Lignins: these arecomplex carbon compounds. They are found in woody tissue.it is binding material and covers the cell walls and fibro-vascular bundles.
Protiens :they are nitrogenous substances, it`s predominant in cell protoplasm. Simple forms of protien is amino acids.
Other composition: plant residues also contains t\fats,oils, waxes,sterols,fatty acids,aldehyde ,alcohol ,phenol,alkoids enzymes, hormones, pigment and vitaminsetc.

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is most important primary nutrient which is required in large quantity for plant growth.
Most widely distributed element in nature.
Preferred as nitrate (NO3-) and ammonical (NH4
+) Nitrogen by plants.
Nitrogen makes up 78 % of our airThe largest single source of Nitrogen is in Atmosphere.

Very small amount of soil nitrogen is available to plants.Total nitrogen in furrow slice(0-15 cm) soils generally varies from 0.02 to 0.44 per cent by wieght.
Role of Nitrogen
An essential constituent of proteins and is present in many compounds of great physiological importance in plant metabolism
Is an integral part of chlorophyll.
Imparts vigorous vegetative growth and dark green colour to plants.
Governs utilization of potassium, phosphorus and other elements.

Forms of Soil Nitrogen:
Nitrogen in soil exists in two major forms
1)Organic
2)Inorganic (mineral)
Sources of Nitrogen :
• Fertilizers• Organic manures• Plant residues• Bio-fertilizers• Green manure• Rain water and Bacterial nitrogen fixation

Results of research
• High quality residues (L. ieucoceohaia and G.sepium) with high N and low lignin and polyphenol concentrations, released N rapidly.
• Low quality residues (sugar cane trash and paddy straw) immobilized N for long periods.
• Residues of intermediate quality (C. siamea and C. cajan ) immobilized N for some time and released it later.
• The per cent N mineralized from residues was strongly correlated with N concentration and other quality parameters involving N concentration (C:N ratio Polyphenol to N ratio, lignin + Polyphenol to N ratio).

Result of research • The decreasing order of N mineralization potential
values as follows: Green gram >Black gram >Soybean >Cowpea >Sun hemp >Sesbania >Cluster bean.
• All the legumes had almost reached their potential N mineralization indicating that legumes may release N rapidly and provide sufficient nitrogen during early period active growth.
• Lignin plus polyphenol to nitrogen and C to N ratio of the legumes were extremely important in predicting the amount of N mineralized and rate of nitrogen mineralization

Result of researchThe variation in net N release from prunings of different leguminous trees was significantly related to the initial N, lignin and soluble polyphenol concentrations of the leaves.
The net release of N increased with increasing N concentrations and decreased with higher concentrations of lignin and polyphenols.
Pruning of species such as sesbania, gliricidia, and cajanus, which are low in lignin, released N rapidly compared to prunings of flemingia and acacia that are high in lignin.

Result of research
• Residues with large fiber fractions of extremely low N concentration cause considerable immobilization of N, while residues with smaller fiber fractions of relatively higher N concentration release N fairly rapidly when added to soil.
![Page 67: Effect of chemical compotion of plant residues on nitrogen minealalization](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/587f6c491a28ab9b398b70d9/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Conclusion of seminar The per cent N mineralized from residues was strongly
correlated with N concentration and other quality parameters involving N concentration.
N concentration and C:N ratio are sound criteria for predicting nitrogen release in few crop residues while in other residues polyphenol/N ratio ( lignin + polyphenol ) to N ratio play a role in percent N mineralized.
The composition of residues in terms of soluble and fiber fractions determines whether and to what extent, N is immobilized or mineralized.
