That depends on what's meant by the word "available". In general, the nitrates are the quickest acting or most "available" to plants, however different species of plants can uptake different forms. Usually though, complex nitrogen compounds must be broken down to simpler compounds before plants can uptake them. Also, different formulations (of fertilizers) can change the way a plant uptakes nutrients. Usually, the quickest acting is a water soluble fertilizer (a powder that dissolves readily in water). Then, there are granular fertilizers that work a bit slower, and finally there are slow-release types that take weeks to months to release.

What part of the nitrogen cycle is most responsible for making nitrogen available for plants?
it is the part of the nitrogen cycle
What form must nitrogen take before plants and animals can use it?
through roots from the soil
Most crop plants acquire their nitrogen mainly in the form of?
NO3
Do plants take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Plants that can use nitrogen from the atmosphere are known as nitrogen fixers. The legume or pea family of plants are famous for being able to do this.Most plants don't have this ability.
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.

Why is nitrogen a limiting nutrient?
This is because the particular form of nitrogen found in air “nitrogen gas“ cannot be assimilated by most organisms. For example, “Nitrogen nutrients are water-soluble and as a result they are easily drained away”, so that they are no longer available for plants.
Most crop plants acquire their nitrogen mainly in the form of?
NO3
Even though considerable nitrogen is available in the air most plants do not use the nitrogen in the air why not?
Because they don't want to.
Do plants take in nitrogen directly from the atmosphere?
Plants that can use nitrogen from the atmosphere are known as nitrogen fixers. The legume or pea family of plants are famous for being able to do this.Most plants don't have this ability.
Where do most plants get nitrogen from?
Plants can get nitrogen from some of fertiliser
What elements are most organisms unable to take from the atmosphere?
nitrogen
How do plants get nitrogen compared to how animals get nitrogen?
Most plants get nitrogen from fertilizers. Some plants can have a process called nitrogen fixing in which nitrogen from the is turned into ammonium compounds. Animals get their nitrogen from food, by eating plants and other animals.
Why is nitrogen fixation nessecary?
Most plants use single nitrogen atoms, not N2 molecules.
What is the form of most of the nitrogen in the world?
Nitrogen is present as amino acids in plants which is an important factor for growth. It is formed when lightening strikes and a chemical reaction is produced and the nitrogen produced is adsorbed by the plants. Example of an amino acid - Nitrobactor.Nitrogen also occurs as the following in air:-Nitrogen oxideNitrous oxideNitrogen dioxideNitratesNitrogen is mixed with hydrogen to form ammonia which is a fertiliser.
What gases such as oxygen nitrogen and carbon dioxide are needed by most species?
Oxygen is needed by all organisms for respiration , carbon dioxide is needed by plants for photosynthesis , nitrogen is needed i form of nitrates by plants .
