Extract

The foregoing experiments give definite evidence, corroborative of the work of Koch, Remy and others, that the nitrogen content of sand or soil may be appreciably increased by the activity of Azotobacter when some suitable source of energy is supplied. For this purpose sugars such as dextrose and saccharose are suitable, but distinct gains have also been obtained by the use of plant residues. In laboratory experiments an increment of upwards of 6 mgrm. of nitrogen per gram of plant residues occurred, but in pot experiments gains of 9 mgrm. per gram of substance were obtained.
