Cropping with tobacco accelerated the mineraliza-tion of soil organic N. After soil incubation, N mineralization was greater in cropped soils than in fallow soils, suggesting the occurrence also of N immobilization. N uptake from fertilizer N decreased rapidly with increasing number of crops; after the third it was small. The cumulative recovery of fertilizer N by the plant up to the 6th crop was up to 80%. N uptake from native soil N showed little decrease with increasing number of croppings.
