Nitrogen (N) is the largest available element in the atmosphere .It is normally available ingaseous form. For the proper growth of plant it is the most nutrients.The scarcity as well as theabundance of the nitrogen directly effect the crop yield. There is a natural nitrogen cycle whichmaintains the nitrogen level in soil. Various methods are used to replenish the nitrogen level in soil. Thismethod evolves the conversion of nitrogen into form which plants can use. Some processes can lead toN losses such as leaching or volatilization. Nitrogen is added to soil naturally from N fixation by soilbacteria and legumes and through atmospheric deposition in rainfall. Externally N is added supplied tothe crop by fertilizers, manure, or other organic materials. Hence there is a direct correlation betweencrop yield and the nitrogen content in the soil. In this paper an easy and fast method of determination ofavailable nitrogen in soil is discussed.
