[Objective]Negative-pressure irrigation is a new irrigation technology and in this paper, we investi- gate its impact on water flow and nitrogen distribution in red soil under different combinations of irrigation amount and nitrogen application.[Method]Ammonium nitrate was used in the experiment and we compared six concentrations: 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg/L, under two water pressure treatments: zero pressure and pressure at 1/2 of the limit negative head height.[Result]Application of ammonium nitrate facilitated water infiltration. Un- der zero and negative-pressure irrigation, water moveme...
