In addition, the compound may indirectly influence N loss through nitrate (N[O.sup.-.sub.3]) leaching, since it reduces the speed of transformation of amidic N into ammoniacal N, but it does not interfere with ammonium nitrification.
The hydrophilicity of the network is due to the presence of chemical residues such as hydroxylic (--OH), carboxylic (--COOH), amidic (--CONH--), primary amidic (--CON[H.sub.2]), sulfonyl (--S[O.sub.3]H), and others that can be found within the polymer backbone or as lateral chains.
The release of drug molecules from the polymeric material could also be possible due to the degradation of the polymeric chain due to breaking of amidic linkage in simulated body fluid.
Aromatic and amidic functional groups in HAs especially showed significant changes in the minimum and reduced tillage systems (Tatzber et al.
IR spectral study of (1) and (2) revealed the presence of characteristic amidic carbonyl absorption bands at 1661 and 1672 [cm.sup.-1]; however, azomethine group absorption bands appeared at 1589 and 1606 [cm.sup.-1], respectively 27, 28].
The IR spectra 2-((2,7-dimethyl-1,8- naphthyridin-4-yl)oxy)-1-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl) ethanone 3a revealed the disappearance of -NHN[H.sub.2] bands of hydrazide and showed only one band at 1674 [cm.sup.-1] characteristic for amidic CO group.
IR vmax/[cm.sup.-1]: 1680 (amidic C=O), 3300 (amidic NH), 2900 (C-H).
Conversely, the band areas of amidic (BN IV) and sulfone and/or ester groups (BN V) of HAs from BF were significantly lower than those from CR and MC.
As heteroatoms other than oxygen are concentrated into the composition of acetone solubles, the presence of pyrrolic, pyranic, sulphoxidic, metallorganic, letcitinic and other phospholipidic, tioketonic, tioalcoholic, tioureatic, amidic, and many other fragments containing one or more heteroatoms in the form of remnants, substitutes, derivation or recombination products in this fraction is probable.
