Nitrate and nitrite are two ions largely diffused in the
environment because they take part in the nitrogen cycle. Moreover,
a great part of atmospheric nitrogen may be oxidized to nitrite and
nitrate by microorganisms in plants, soil or water. The more stable
form of oxidized nitrogen is nitrate ion, but, through microbial
activity, it can be reduced to nitrite ion which is more chemically
reactive. Nitrate and its salts are widely used, especially as
inorganic fertilizers, and for many other purposes such as
oxidizing agents, explosives, in the chemical industry and as food
preservatives. This book discusses the agricultural uses,
management practices and environmental effects of nitrogen
fertilizers.
