This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of nitrogen form in the Hoagland nutrient solution on the growth of Farfugium japonicum, Aster tataricus and Chrysanthemum boreale. The nitrogen form of Hoagland nutrient solution was modified to $NH_4{^+}(100%),\;NO_3{^-}(100%),\;and\;NH_4{^+}+NO_3{^-}(50%+5%)$ for this study. In the treatment of $NO_3{^-}\;and\;NH_4{^+}+NO_3{^-}(1:1)$, F. japonicum showed the best growth, especially in fresh weight. With the treatment of $NO_3{^-}$, shoot and root fresh weight of A. tataricus and C. boreale were increased. The activity of nitrate reductase and the concentration of chlorophyll and nitrate were increased with $NO_3{^-}$ treatment in all these plants.

This study is to evaluate the performance of draw solutions in forward osmosis desalination using fertilizer as draw solution. Considering osmotic pressure, solubility, and pH, $NH_4NO_3$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, KCl, $KNO_3$, and $KHCO_3$ were screened from a comprehensive lists of fertilizer. Their performance were evaluated in terms of pure water permeate flux, reverse solute flux, and specific reverse solute flux for nitrogen and phosphorus. KCl showed the highest pure water permeate flux among the selected fertilizers while $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ draw solution had the lowest flux. $NH_4H_2PO_4$ showed the lowest reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux for nitrogen followed by $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $KNO_3$, and $NH_4NO_3$. Although the pure water permeate flux of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ is lower than the other draw solutions, because it contains both nitrogen and phosphorus, and have the lowest reverse solute flux and specific reverse solute flux, it is a promising candidate as draw solution for forward osmosis desalination.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effects of liming (soil pH) and sources of N on the chemical constituents of soil and leaf lamina of burley tobacco. Treatments consisted of liming (nonliming, liming to soil pH 5.5 and 6.5) as the main plot and N sources［compound fertilizer of containing 3.9% $NH_4-N$ and 6.1% $NH_2-N,\;NaNO_3,\;(NH_2)_2CO\;and\;(NH_4)_2SO_4$］as the sub-plot. The soil pH was high in $NaNO_2$ plot, while low in $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. But the differences of Ca concentration in top soil among N sources were not detected. The $NO_3-N$ concentration in top soil was high in high limed and $NaNO_3$ plot. The $NO_3-N$ content of leaf (lamina) at 75 days after transplanting was high in $NaNO_3$ plot and CaO con-tent of leaf at 45 days after transplanting was high in high limed plot. But neither liming nor N source had effect on the contents of total nitrogen, $P_2-O_{5}\;and\;K_2O$ of leaf during growing season. There was no significant differences in total alkaloid and total nitrogen contents of cured leaf (lamina) to liming and N source. But when the source of N was $NaNO_3$, the content of total alkaloid was increased by adding lime. When the source of N was $(NH_4$)_2SO_4$, the content of $K_2O$ in cured leaf was high while CaO was low. But neither liming nor N source had effect on the contents of $P_2-O_{5}$ and MgO in cured leaf.

This research was conducted to evaluate the influence of $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratios in fertilizer solution on the vegetative growth and fruit yield of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) through pot cultivation. The Hoaglad's solution was modified to contain various $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratios such as 100:0 (A), 73:37 (B), 50:50 (C), 27:73 (D), 0:100 (E), and no nitrogen (F). Plants were transplanted into root substrates and the modified solutions were applied as plant needed in plastic house. There were no statistical significances among the treatments from A through D in the fresh and dry weights, and number of leaves 31 days after transplanting, but elevation of $NH_4{^+}$ ratios in the solution decreased the fresh fruit weight 62 days after transplanting with statistical differences. In the results of inorganic element analysis based on the dry weight of fully expanded mature leaves, N and P contents as well as micro cations such as Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu increased as $NH_4{^+}$ ratios were elevated 62 days after transplanting. However, those of macro cations such as K, Ca, and Mg resulted in decreasing tendency. The elevation of $NH_4{^+}$ ratios in fertilizer solution resulted in the increase of EC and total N concentrations ($NO_3{^-}+NH_4{^+}$), but this decreased the pH as well as Ca and Mg concentrations in soil solution 62 days after transplanting. The K concentration in soil solution was the highest in the treatments of C and followed by D, B, E, and A. The above results indicate that the proper $NO_3{^-}:NH_4{^+}$ ratio in the nutrient solution is 73:27 (B) or 100:0 (A) and the B solution is proper for the vegetative growth and that of A is proper for reproductive growth stage.

In order to study the influence of nitrate reduction to ionic balance in tissue of tobacco plant, differneces in amounts of those cations and anions were determined and these balances were compared with contents of organic acids and activities of nitrate reductase, while they were fertilized with different nitrogen sources ($NO_3-N$, $NH_4-N$, $NO_3+NH_4-N$) in water culture. The results of studies are summerized as follows; 1. Total uptake of inorganic cations was the highest in nitrate-fed plants, whereas that of inorganic anions showed the highest level in the plants grown with the mixture ($NO_3+NH_4$). The amounts of inorganic cations and anions were comparable in two treatments containing $NH_4-N$, but in plants treated with nitrate only had much higher level of inorganic cations than others. 2. Deficiency in the amount of inorganic anions in nitrate-fed plants was balanced with organic acids, dominantly with malic acid among them. But another two $NH_4-N$ fed plant sustained equilibrium between inorganic cations and anions. 3. Reduction of nitrate was raised in tissues of nitrate-fed plants. By the results of nitrate reduction, cations maintained equilibrium with nitrate ion were let loose. The replacement of inorganic anions with organic anions could be a compensation process for the loss of uptaken nitrate ions which must be reduced to be incorporated into organic N compounds.

The effect of N forms ($NO_3{^-}-N$, $NH_4{^+}-N$) and concentrations (4, 8, $16meq/{\ell}$) which were changed at head formation stage on the tip-burn incidence of chinese cabbage was studied under the three levels (0, 8, 16 meq/l) of Ca. All of the plants grown on $NH_4{^+}-N$ showed the symptoms of tip-burn and low yields regardless of Ca levels. Roots of plants grown on $NH_4{^+}-N$ were severely damaged. The pH of the leachate from $NH_4{^+}-N$ pot was decreased to below pH 5. Plants which had been grown on $NH_4{^+}-N$ before the head formation stage, but changed to $NO_3{^-}-N$ were recovered from abnormal growth. But, the reverse showed the tip-burn symptoms. $NH_4{^+}-N$ treatments increased the T-N contents, but lowered K and Ca contents of inner leafblades. Icreased applications of Ca did not affect the T-N and K contents of the inner leafblades. $NH_4{^+}-N$ suppressed Ca translocation into the inner leaves from outer leaves after the head formation stage, but $NO_3{^-}-N$ accelarated it. Ca contents were much lower in leaves showing tip-burn symptoms than in healthy leaves. Internal rot which is a tip-burn symptom occuring after head formation were noted in plants applied with high concentration of $NO_3{^-}-N$ both before and after the head formation stage. Ca contents correlated well with the rates of Ca application, but there was no correlation between ca conents and internal rot incidence. Chinese cabbage tip-burn is not caused by Ca deficiency, as is commonly believed, but rather by the water stress (95% water contents in $NO_3{^-}$-fed plants, 91% in $NH_4{^+}$-fed plants) resulting from root damage caused by ammonium toxicity. Internal rot is also caused by excess applications of nitrogen, and is unaffected by calcium levels.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effects of liming(soil pH) and sources of N on growing characters and yield of burley tobacco. Treatments consisted of liming(nonliming, liming to soil pH5.5 and 6.5) as the main plot and N sources(compound fertilizer of containing 3.9% NH$_4$-N and 6.1% NH$_2$-N, NaNO$_3$,(NH$_2$)$_2$CO and (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$as the sub-plot. The growth of vegetative growing stage of limed plots were delayed(to compare the nonlimed plot) by influence of alkali. When the source on N was NaNO$_3$ the growth of vegetative growing stage was unfavorable and the yellowing of lower leaves of maturing stage was rapid. The yield and value of cured leaf was increased by increasing the rate of Ca(OH)$_2$, but there was no significant differences among the source of N. The yield response to liming was greater when the source of N was (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$ than that of any other plots.

It was observed that the effect of Grand E.C, on the growth of Fusarium oxysporium f. cucumerinum mycellia, which was cultured in the media with different nitrogen and carton sources, varied with it's concentrations. (1) Mycellia of F. oxysporium f. cucumerinum were grown strongly in $(NH_4)_2HPO_4\;NH_4NO_3$ and fructose media. (2) In general, the diluted Grand E.C, $ (\times\;1,000)$ effected on check of fungal growth in any type of media with the different nitrogen and carbon sources. It was disturbed the growth of fungi in $NH_4NO_3$, lactose and fructose in the diluted fungicide $(\times\;5,000)$. In the diluted solution $(\times\;10,000)$ of fungicide, somewhat increased the viability of fungi, but it was disturbed the growth in $NH_4NO_3$ and fructose media. (3) In conclusion, it was thought to be that the diluted Grand emulsion effected in check of the growth of F. oxysporium f. cucumerinum which grown some nutritional conditions.

This study was focussed to compare the concentrations of the volatile oil components of flue-cured tobacco grown by two types of nitrogen-ammonium and nitrate-under vinyl mulching. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The content of nicotine was lower and reducing sugars degraded from starch was higher content in $NO_3-N$ application than $NH_4-N$. 2. The concentrations of furfural, benzyl alcohol, and phenethyl alcohol in the cured leaf were not different between $NH_4-N$ and $NO_3-N$ treatments. 3. Some of the important flavour components-linalool, solanone, damascenone, neophytadiene, and oxyolanone + megastigmatriene-one - had much higher concentrations in $NO_3-N$ than $NH_4-N$ application. 4. In conclusion, nitrate nitrogen was more favorable to decrease nicotine and to increase some important flavour components of cured leaf than ammonium nitrogen.

The tungsten oxo-nitrosyl complexes (n-Bu4N)2[W5O12(NO)2{RC(NH2)NHO}2{RC(NH)NO}2] (R=(CH3)2CH, CH3CH2CH2, CH3SCH2) have been synthesized by the reactions of polyoxotungsten complex (n-Bu4N)2[W6O19] and tungsten dinitrosyl monomeric complex [W(NO)2(acac)(CH3CN)2](BF4) with butylamidoxime derivatives. The prepared complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, UV-visible, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The pentanuclear species was formed by the interaction of the electron-withdrawing {W(NO)2}2+ unit between the two dinuclear tungsten {W2O5}2+ cores. We can estimate to exist large proton interactions viewed from the four doublet in 1H NMR spectrum of (n-Bu4N)2[W5O12(NO)2{(CH3)2CHC(NH2)NHO}2{(CH3)2CHC(NH)NO}2]. We also drew informations of the two different coordination mode and symmetry of the complexes because two ligands appear in 13C NMR spectra instead of four. The {W(NO)2}2+ unit has been cis-form and C2v symmetry in geometric structure.
