Recoveries of fertilizer N in above-ground portions of crops grown in field experiments were estimated by: the difference method; linear regression of total N in crops on rates of applied N; /sup 15/N isotopic tracer method; and linear regression of labeled fertilizer N uptake on rates of labeled fertilizer N. In order to evaluate the use of the isotope, these four methods were applied to data from prsviously reported experiments that involved two /sup 15/N-labeled fertllizers (urea and oxamide) at rates of 0, 56, 112, and 188 kg N/ha. The test crop was Sudax (SX11) sorghumsudangrass hybrid (Sorghum sudanense) and harvests were made at approximately 30-day intervals during the cropping seasons. The difference method overestimated recovery of urea and oxamide nitrogen in sudangrass 35 and 31%, respectively, in 1986 and 23 and 35% in 1987 when compared to the isotopic tracer methed. Similarly, linear regression of total N in crops on rates of N overestimated recoveries of urea and oxamide nitrogen 32 and 17%, respectively, in 1988 and 17 and 21% in 1987 when compared to linear regressions of fertilizer N in crops on rates of /sup 15/N labeled nitrogen. Isotopically- labeled fertilizers are almost a necessity for estimating Nmore » recovery in many dgronomic experiments.« less
