Abstract:
      The inhibition of ammonia volatilization in paddy fields has great significance of improving nitrogen use efficiency, reducing environment pollution and protecting human health. Surface molecular film is an economic and environmental protection means to inhibit ammonia volatilization in paddy fields, but the selection and action of suitable membrane materials are not clear. Therefore,Polylactic acid (PLA), Zein and Span60 were selected as surface molecular film materials according to their solubility and film formation state. The addition ratios of PLA was 2, 4, 6, and 8 g·m-2 (based on dry matter,same as below), Zein was 1, 2, 4, 8 g·m-2 and Span 60 was 1, 2, 4, 6 g·m-2. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse to compare their control effects of ammonia volatilization and the main action pathways. The results showed that PLA, Zein and Span60 could reduce ammonia volatilization in the liquid-gas interface by 6.61%~18.10%, 6.71%~21.78%, 4.32%~9.51%, respectively. The amount of nitrogen loss from ammonia volatilization also decreased significantly during one week after the fertilization. PLA and Zein inhibited ammonia volatilization by reducing the concentrations of ammonium nitrogen and values of pH in the surface water. Zein with 2 g·m-2 and PLA with 8 g·m-2 showed better inhibiting effect on ammonia volatilization. Span60 mainly reduce the ammonia volatilization by reducing the ammonium nitrogen concentration in the field water, but the excessive addition ratio increased the ammonium nitrogen concentration, and the best addition ratio was 1 g·m-2, which reduced the ammonia emission by 5.63%. Therefore, this study indicated that Zein with 2 g·m-2 additional ratio was a suitable molecular surface inhibition material for ammonia volatilization. Further study will be needed in the paddy field.
