Abstract
Wheat producers are utilizing increasing quantities of inorganic N fertilizers as the primary source of N. A reduction in growth and yield of some plant species has been shown to occur when NH +4 constantly supplied a signficant portion of the N form (Sasseville, Mills, 1979; Buczek et al.,1980). It was mentioned that the favourable source of N (NO -3 or NH +4 ) may be varied according to the stage of plant development (Tanaka et al.,1959).
