M.; Ekirapa, A. E.; Kenya Agricultural Research Institute - National Agricultural Research LaboratoriesThe aim of the study was to contribute to the research aimed at the increased understanding of the factors influencing nitrogen uptake and use efficiency. The research was conducted as a part of the PhD programme, carried out to develop management options for reducing losses of nutrient through leaching. In this context, the objective of the research was to quantify the effects of fertilizer nitrogen recourses and management practices on N losses through bypass flows. Characterization of soil in terms of its physical and hydraulic properties was carried out since these are the most important soil quality indicators that influence the soil's capacity to function as environmental buffer and filter for air, water and nutrients.
