Due to coarse textured, fast-draining growing media with poor buffer capacity, nitrogen leaching after heavy rainfall is a major concern in container nurseries. The amendment of growing media with Chabazite – a natural zeolite with high ammonium (NH4+) exchange capacity – in combination with NH4+ fertilization might reduce nitrogen losses significantly. This was tested in a pot trial with Photinia fraseri. Growing media amended with Chabazite were compared with a pumice containing growing medium as control. Chabazite was used on the one hand untreated and on the other hand it was charged with ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) with loads of 1 and 5 g ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) pot‑1. During the first part of the trial, pots with untreated Chabazite were repeatedly fertilized with NH4+ and leached after each fertilizer application. Pots with charged Chabazite were also leached on the same dates. In the second part, pots with untreated Chabazite received an excessive NH4+ supply and were leached several times afterwards. In both parts of the trial, NH4+ was adsorbed by Chabazite after fertilization. Higher amounts of NH4+ were leached from growing media with pumice than from those with untreated Chabazite. In leachates from growing media with NH4+-charged Chabazite, higher amounts of nitrate (NO3-) were only found in the case of charging with 5 g N pot‑1. Whereas after excessive NH4+ fertilization leaching of NH4+ remained low in presence of Chabazite, summing up to 5% of the applied N, in the control leached NH4+ was 28% of fertilized NH4+. Thus, it can be concluded that fertilized NH4+ was adsorbed to Chabazite and thus protected from direct leaching as well as from nitrification and subsequent leaching as NO3-. This protection decreased with increasing NH4+ charging of Chabazite. Hence, the combination of Chabazite with repeated NH4+ fertilization is a promising approach to reduce nitrogen leaching from container nurseries.

Amendment of growing media with Chabazite, a natural zeolite with a high ammonium sorption capacity, in combination with ammonium fertilization might be a promising approach to reduce nitrogen leaching in container nurseries. However, it is unclear if ammonium, which is adsorbed to Chabazite is still plant-available. Thus, a pot trial with Photinia fraseri was conducted with growing media containing 25 vol % of either pumice or Chabazite. Chabazite firstly was used as received and secondly was charged with two levels of ammonium resulting in nitrogen loads of 1 and 5 g N pot‑1, respectively. The untreated Chabazite was fertilized with 1 g N pot‑1 as ammonium sulfate divided in repeated applications in accordance with the control (pumice). In these two treatments plant growth and nitrogen uptake was more or less the same. Plants in the growing media with NH4-charged Chabazite receiving also 1 g N pot‑1 produced a significantly lower fresh mass compared to the untreated Chabazite and pumice and suffered from slight nitrogen deficiency. If 5 g N pot‑1 were applied with charged Chabazite, plants grew better and took up more nitrogen. The results indicate that Chabazite did not influence negatively plant availability of fertilized ammonium. However, ammonium from charged Chabazite is only partly plant-available. With increasing NH4 charging of Chabazite, ammonium and nitrate accumulated in the growing media.
