, J. 2000. Soil aeration for dairy manure spreading on forage: Effects on ammonia volatilisation and yield. Can. J. Soil Sci. 80: 319-326. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of performing soil aeration either before or after spreading liquid manure in forage production systems. The experiments included eight trials performed in 1996 using a non-interfering diffusion method to determine ammonia (NH 3 ) flux emissions from both aerated and control plots. For all eight trials, the manure application rate was 75 355 L ha -1 . The average NH 3 loss for the aerated treatment was 67.3 kg ha -1 while the loss for the control plots was 63.0 kg ha -1 . Although differences in the NH 3 loss between treatments were low, substantial variations were observed between individual trials depending on the prevailing meteorological conditions.To further evaluate the effects of soil aeration, 11 trials were carried out on Nova Scotia dairy farms in 1996 and 1997 to identify yield effects. Manure application rates ranged from 18 000 to 64 000 L ha -1 . The average forage yield on aerated treatments was 9.4% below control treatments (i.e., manure without aeration). Of the 11 trials, 9 resulted in significantly (P < 0.05) reduced yield with soil aeration. Les déperditions moyennes de NH 3 à partir des parcelles aérées se montaient à 67,3 kg ha -1 contre 63,0 kg pour les parcelles témoins. Bien que ces différences soient faibles, des variations importantes étaient observées d'un essai à l'autre selon les conditions météorologiques. Pour pousser plus avant l'évaluation des effets de l'aération du sol, 11 essais étaient implantés en 1996 et en 1997 dans des exploitations laitières de la Nouvelle-Écosse pour dégager les effets sur les rendements fourragers. Les doses d'épandage utilisées allaient de 18 000 à 64 000 L ha -1 . Le rendement moyen obtenu dans les parcelles aérées était de 9,4 % inférieur à celui des parcelles témoins (c.-à-d. fertilisées mais non aérées). Sur les 11 essais, 9 démontraient des baisses significatives (P < 0,05) du rendement lorsque le sol avait été aéré.
, T. 2001. Effects of surface manure application timing on ammonia volatilization. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 525-533. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of timing of application on ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization from surface-applied dairy manure. Field trials were conducted over a 2-yr period (1994 and 1995) at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Farm in Nappan, Nova Scotia. A total of eight trials were performed in an attempt to characterize what effect the timing of application (morning vs. late afternoon/early evening) has on NH 3 volatilization losses. Ammonia losses were also related to several meteorological parameters. The total percentage of NH 3 volatilized in the 10 h following field spreading ranged from as low as < 2% to approximately 66%. Late-day spreading typically resulted in at least a 30% reduction in overall NH 3 flux densities, primarily due to substantial reductions in NH 3 losses occurring within the first 10 h after manure application. The positive benefits of late-day manure spreading were more pronounced during warm, dry weather conditions. Significant (P < 0.05) positive linear correlations were observed between NH 3 volatilization in the 10 h following spreading and solar radiation (r 2 = 0.56), wind speed (r 2 = 0.53), temperature (r 2 = 0.34) and vapour pressure deficit (r 2 = 0.53).Results from this study have indicated that late day manure spreading practices can substantially reduce NH 3 volatilization.Key words: Slurry, ammonia volatilization, dairy, manure application, timing Gordon, R., Jamieson, R., Rodd, V., Patterson, G. et Harz, T. 2001. Incidence du moment de l'épandage du fumier sur la vaporisation de l'ammoniac. Can. J. Soil Sci. 81: 525-533. L'étude devait établir si la vaporisation de l'ammoniac (NH 3 ) dépend du moment où l'on épand le fumier de bovins laitiers à la surface du sol. Les auteurs ont effectué des essais au champ pendant deux ans (1994 et 1995), à la ferme expérimentale d'Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada à Nappan, en Nouvelle-Écosse. En tout, huit essais ont servi à déterminer quels effets le moment de l'application (matin ou fin de l'après-midi/début de la soirée) pouvait avoir sur les pertes de NH 3 attribuables à la vaporisation. On a aussi associé ces pertes à divers paramètres météorologiques. La proportion de NH 3 qui s'évapore pendant les 10 h suivant l'épandage varie d'un minimum < 2 % à environ 66 %. L'application en fin de journée diminue la densité du flux de NH 3 d'au moins 30 %, principalement à cause d'une réduction importante des pertes de NH 3 durant les dix heures qui suivent l'épandage. Les bienfaits d'un épandage tardif sont plus prononcés par temps chaud et sec. Les auteurs ont établi une corrélation linéaire positive significative (P < 0,05) entre la vaporisation du NH 3 au cours des 10 h suivant l'épandage et le rayonnement solaire (r 2 = 0,56), la vitesse du vent (r 2 = 0,53), la température (r 2 = 0,34) et la différence de pression de vapeur (r 2 = 0,53).
