While volatilization directly from soil can occur, such loss is generally relatively small compared to the amount that can be lost from fertilizers. This publication reviews the number of factors that influence the occurrence and/or rate of ammonia volatilization.2 pagesapplication/pdfenVirginia Cooperative Extension materials are available for public use, re-print, or citation without further permission, provided the use includes credit to the author and to Virginia Cooperative Extension, Virginia Tech, and Virginia State University.SoilsExtension publicationhttp://pubs.ext.vt.edu/2908/2908-1404/2908-1404_pdf.pdfSoilVolatilizationNitrogenAmmonia
