Abstract.

Nitrogen is an important constituent of protein and protoplasm.  And essential for the growth of plants. Its shortage leads to chlorosis ( yellow of leaves) and stoppage of growth. Its excess adversely effect the quality of fruit. Its presence in moderate doses is essential for plant growth and fruiting.  it is  usually deficient in soils. Nitrogen given to plants in the forms organic manure and artificial fertilisers. It is also present in the air but plants can not directly avail of it.

In plant nitrogen lost through leaching, erosion or escape of ammonia or elemental N into the atmosphere.
