Abstract N‐ ( n ‐Butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) is the most widely adopted urease inhibitor, used to reduce ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization from urea. Micronutrients such as boron (B), zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo) are also reported inhibit urease, serving simultaneously plant nutrients. However, there little information on potential synergistic or antagonistic effects of NBPT micronutrients urea protection. The aim this study was evaluate NH losses, soil pH mineral nitrogen content (‐N ‐N) after application coated granulated with B, Zn, Ni Mo, individually. Thereafter, fertilizers were applied combined not associated NBPT. Ammonia measured in a closed static chamber under controlled conditions. Urea B Zn reduced ‐N circa 30% compared untreated urea, while Mo had no effect. stabilizer greatest effect (44%–59% reduction), but less effective (only 20%–34% reduction) when Mo. On other hand, incorporated via granulation, efficiency reduced, likely because physical separation. These findings demonstrate that granulating an NBPT‐coating can be valuable strategy losses supplying hence potentially increase yields agricultural production systems.

Ammonia (NH3) is the most prevalent alkaline gas in atmosphere, with its elevated concentrations posing significant adverse impacts on air quality, ecosystems, and human health across diverse spatial temporal scales. Given ongoing global change intensified anthropogenic NH3 emissions, it projected that surface concentration will escalate further. Here, based ground observations, gridded data of organic inorganic nitrogen fertilizer applications, meteorological data, ancillary information, we estimated changes monthly during 2001–2019 at a 0.1°× 0.1° resolution. A novel scale-adaptive approach, essentially an Ensemble Random Forest Model built upon Rotated Quadtree Partitioning Box-Cox Transformation, was developed. The model well reproduced patterns particularly capturing peak valley values (R2 = 0.91 slope 0.82 for whole; R2 0.79 0.70 testing). results indicate increase over 2001–2019, from 1.44 μg m–3 yr–1 2001 to 1.51 2019. Notably, hotspots were located northern South Asia, China, Sahel area, southeast America, central United States. Decreased SO2 emissions increased applications dominated while primarily driven by inputs. Temperature identified play important role affecting regions, Africa, Oceania. These findings have potential facilitate research cycle environmental footprints inform development locally or regionally tailored management strategies. Furthermore, proposed modeling algorithm showcases capability intricate relationships within highly spatially heterogeneous thereby addressing up-scaling challenges associated multimodal site observations.

The influence of catch crop (field pea) management and the time its application [plots with autumn (A.I.) or spring (S.I.) biomass incorporation vs. treatments without (C) use] on activity five soil enzymes associated C- (CMC-cellulase—CEL, β-glucosidase—βG, invertase—INV) N-cycling (urease—UR, nitrate reductase—NR), content mineral N, microbial C N (MBC, MBN) were evaluated in a 3-year experiment (2009–2011). Field pea was sown first half August incorporated into second October 2008, 2009, 2010 left as mulch during winter mixed spring. enzymatic properties determined samples collected from barley experimental plots four times year (2009, 2010, 2011): March (before sowing barley), May (during tillering phase), June shooting (after harvesting). Neither nor sampling date had any effect total organic carbon (CORG) nitrogen (Nt). filed significantly enhanced (up to 30%), well variables, compared control soil. use field increased (2009 2011) contrast incorporation. On other hand, biomass-N studied did not reveal statistically significant changes (or results inconsistent) regards assessed variables (except for CORG, Nt, N) showed seasonal variability, but clear specific property. However, we found one similarity; majority highest and/or June. Our data confirmed that crops play key function agroecosystems. Plant is source matter, which increases nutrient concentrations enhances biological activity. Because consistent properties, both applications can be recommended suitable practice modern agriculture.

Abstract The optimal utilization of nitrogenous fertilizer in agriculture is essential for reducing nitrogen (N) induced pollution and minimizing production costs. While studies have been conducted on the performance rice genotypes under N-stresses, there remains a lack detailed protocols screening them during both seedling maturity stages without absolute control N, which conveniently possible hydroponics. Here we report protocol growing plants till N-stress (as well as N-optimum condition) hydroponics system. This provides comprehensive details requirements, experimental setup, media, conditions, parameters to be observed, management practices system troubleshooting. Apart from condition, also detail procedures recording observations growth phase plants. Two contrasting use efficiency (NUE), IR64 (Indica rice) Nagina 22 (Aus type rice), were grown optimum N-stressed condition complete validation this protocol. Significant differences (p < 0.05) between two observed various including morphological N uptake, stages. We effect aeration found that non-aerated conditions preferable. offers an efficient, easy, low-cost, low-maintenance hydroponic stress enabling precise phenotyping non-destructive examination roots.
