A major scientific challenge for modern agriculture is control of off-site effects on the water resource. In the Valle Central of Costa Rica, coffee plantations may leach fertilizer-derived (Equation presented) to groundwaters, as a result of high fertilization rates (annually ~270 kg/ha as N), highly permeable and well structured Andisols, and high rates of annual runoff (>1000 mm). The objective of this study was to examine several aspects of the nitrification and (Equation presented) adsorption that control (Equation presented) leaching from these highly productive soils. Monthly collections from four Andisols indicated that soil (Equation presented) varied seasonally, with (Equation presented) accumulating to about 280 kg/ha in the uppe...
