| Abstract: |
| Urease inhibitor, N-(n-butyl)thiophosphorictriamide(NBPT), has potential to reduce urea nitrogen losses via ammonia volatilization(AV), while nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide(DCD), could reduce nitrogen loss through leaching, both increasing available-N in soils. A laboratory experiment was conducted to study AV loss and ammonium-N(NH4+-N) and nitrate-N(NO3--N) accumulations in alkaline anthropogenic-alluvial soil under different ratios of two inhibitors(NBPT/DCD). Six different rate combinations of NBPT/DCD and CK(without inhibitor) were employed. Results showed that AV rates and NH4+-N accumulation were relatively high in the first a few days after fertilizer application, compared with CK. Addition of NBPT alone at 0.1% reduced AV by 64%. Soil NO3--N and NH4+-N accumulations were significantly lower in NBPT treatments than CK during 5 days after urea application. However, such inhibiting effect of NBPT lasted only about 8 days. Combined applications of NBPT and DCD significantly reduced AV loss and NH4+-N accumulation in soil while increased NO3--N accumulation in soil. Compared with CK, applying 0.1% NBPT and 1% DCD reduced AV loss by 16.7%, and NH4+-N accumulation in soil slowed down while NO3--N accumulation in soil increased after 5 days of fertilization. At 0.1% NBPT, increasing DCD from 2% to 5% decreased soil NO3--N concentrations while gradually increased soil NH3 volatilization. These findings suggest that optimized combined application of inhibitors would be 2%~3% DCD and 0.1%NBPT for reducing nitrogen loss via AV and maintaining higher available-N in alkaline anthropogenic-alluvial soil in irrigated area. |
