Abstract
The effect of different types of organic fertilizer on the availability of nitrogen in paddy soil was determined. The soil samples were collected from an organic rice field in Nongchok District, Bangkok. The results showed that the soil pH of all treatments increased from 5.3 to 6.9 and 7.2. The cumulative N mineralization of sunn hemp was the highest (121.33 mg N/kg), but no significant difference was compared to for other organic fertilizers. The change of AHN was increased at the start of incubation and decreased after 70 days of incubation. It indicated that the AHN changed to ammonium. The potential N mineralization of control, cow manure, compost and sunn hemp were 95.34, 109.90, 107.23 and 114.53 mg N/kg, respectively. The K values indicated the mineralization rate of control, cow manure, compost and sunn hemp which were 0.2095, 0.2075, 0.2053 and 0.1992 mg N/kg, respectively.
