Abstract

On the basis of a preliminary experiment with 20-day-old Cicer seedlings, wherein the values obtained by integrating the in vivo nitrate reductase (NR) activity with the duration closely approximated the actual reduced N, a field experiment was conducted with cv BG 203 (indeterminate type) to ascertain the extent to which the nitrate assimilated via the enzyme NR contributed to the total reduced N. Soil-derived N accounted for 15.1, 8.3 and 7.2% of the total reduced N at pre-flowering (I), profuse flowering (II) and seed filling (III) stages respectively. Out of the total soil-derived N, 10.1, 59.3 and 30.6% was reduced during stages I, II and III respectively.
