Micro- plots with 15N- labelled urea were established in 2014/2015 on a long- term experi-ment on a Vertisol in north- west Mexico. N fertilizer recovery (NFR) and the effects of residual fertilizer N for summer maize (Zea mays L.) and the subsequent wheat (Triticum durum L.) crop were studied in three tillage?straw management practices (CTB: conventionally tilled beds; PB- straw: permanent raised beds with residue retention; PB- burn: permanent raised beds with residue burning). Fertilizer 15N recovery rates for maize grain across all treatments were low with an average of 11%, but after wheat harvest total recovered 15N (15N in maize and wheat straw and grain, residual soil 15N) was over 50% for the PB- burn treatment. NFR was lowest in CTB after two cropping cycles (32%). Unaccounted N from applied fer-tilizer for the maize crop averaged 120 kg 15N ha?1 after wheat harvest. However, more than 20% of labelled 15N was found in the 0?90 cm soil profile in both PB treatments after wheat harvest, which highlights the need for long- term studies and continuous monitoring of the soil nutrient status to avoid over- application of min-eral N fertilizer. aMAIZ aTRIGO a15N LABELLED UREA aFERTILIZANTES NITROGENADOS aNITROGEN BALANCE aNITROGEN FERTILIZER RECOVERY aPERMANENT BEDS aWHEAT-MAIZE CROPPING SYSTEM1 aDITTERT, K.1 aVERHULST, N.1 aGOVAERTS, B.1 aBUERKERT, A. tSoil Use and Management, 1 September 2019, Volume 35, Issue 3, Pages 482-491.
