How to use NITRIFYING in a sentence

• NITRIFYING GERMS Almost all the nitrogen of the soil is locked up in the humus and cannot in that condition be used by the roots of plants.
• The breaking down of the humus and building of the nitrogen into other substances is the work of another set of bacteria or germs called nitrifying germs.
• To do their work well the nitrogen-fixing germs and the nitrifying germs require certain conditions.
• The soil must be well ventilated to supply nitrogen for the nitrogen-fixing germs and oxygen for the nitrifying germs.
• The nitrifying germs require phosphoric acid, potash and lime in the soil.
• Like the nitrifying germs they need oxygen, and when they cannot get it more readily elsewhere they take it from the nitric acid and nitrates.
• This allows the nitrogen of the nitrates to escape as a free gas into the air again, and the work of the nitrogen-fixing and nitrifying germs is undone and the nitrogen is lost.
