%X A rapid procedure is proposed for simultaneous determination of NH4-,  NO~-, and NO3-N in field moist samples. The procedure involves extraction,  with Morgan's solution followed by determination of NH4-N by Nessler's  reagent, NO2-N by x-naphthylamine and sulphanilic acid and NOa-N by  phenol-disulphoric acid. The method will suit small laboratories and 50 to 75  samples can be analysed in a day.
