Evaluation of the burns model for nitrate movement in wet sandy soils

A simple model to predict nitrate leaching developed by Bums (1974) was tested. The measured and calculated nitrate concentrations in 100'cm wet sandy soil profiles were compared: the results showed reasonably good agreement between the two values. Adjusting the initial conditions and reducing...
