Incubation studies were made, on the effects of adding copper compounds to soils on transformations involving nitrogen, in particular ammonification, nitrification and immobilisation. The copper compounds were added in different forms (copper sulphate, copper phosphate and copper oxide) and their effects on nitrogen changes were studied immediately after treatment and also after the copper compounds were allowed to react with moist soil for some time.
