Abstract
The previous (1) investigation on this crop brought two very interesting results which include the presence of nitrate in detectable quantity under waterlogged soil condition and quite different role of different forms of nitrogen towards the appearance of asparagine. It created a new interest in the Asparagine Test study and it was considered essential to obtain confirmatory results with the present investigation. However, the plan of the experiment previously adopted was modified to some extent to get, in addition, informations on the results obtained in the previous investigation. The experiment was aimed to include a completely reduced condition in combination with ammonium and nitrate nitrogen as basal application. Also, urea was excluded from the topdressing forms of nitrogen and only nitrate and ammonium form nitrogens were studied in greater detail.Keywords
