Abstract
Where ground waters are used for domestic purposed in farming areas, symbiotically fixed nitrogen becomes a potential source on nitrate contamination in drinking water. Agricultural crops are not sufficiently efficient to absorb all of the nitrate-nitrogen from the soil solution. Wheat, barley and corn can be used to remove nitrogen from the soil solution. This report presents results from experiments designed to utilize nitrogen fixed by natural processes and reduce the potential for nitrate contamination of drinking water.
