Abstract
Mineralization of organic-N supplied to two different types of sails b y an alpechin (olive-oil mill waste water)-compost and a beet vinasse after three consecutive years was studied. Results were compared with those obtained for a mineral fertilizer treatment and a control (unfer tilized). N-mineralization can be described by a first order kinetic m odel. Both organic residues produced an important increase in the orga nic-N loading of the soils which is slowly released over a time.
