“…NH 3 flux peaks observed 1–3 days after each N fertilizer treatment ( Figures 1 , 2 ) may be attributed to the enzymatic hydrolysis of the applied N ( Zhang et al, 2011 ; Shang et al, 2014 ). Enhancement of NH 3 volatilization caused by N fertilization has been reported in numerous studies ( Zhang et al, 2011 ; Liu et al, 2015 ; Huang et al, 2016 ).…”

Tillage practices and nitrogen (N) sources are important factors affecting rice production. Few studies, however, have examined the interactions between tillage practices and N fertilizer sources on NH3 volatilization, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and rice grain yield. This study aimed to investigate the effects of N fertilizer sources (no N fertilizer, inorganic N fertilizer, organic N fertilizer alone, organic N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer, and slow-release N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer) and tillage practices (no-tillage [NT] and conventional intensive tillage [CT]) on NH3 flux, grain yield, and NUE in the rice field of central China. N sources significantly affected NH3 volatilization, as the cumulative volatilization from the treatments of inorganic N fertilizer, organic N fertilizer, organic N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer, slow-release N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer was 4.19, 2.13, 3.42, and 2.23 folds in 2013, and 2.49, 1.68, 2.08, and 1.85 folds in 2014 compared with that under no N fertilizer treatment, respectively. The organic N fertilizer treatment had the lowest grain yield and NUE among all N fertilizer treatments, while slow-release N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer treatment led to relatively higher grain yield and the greatest N use efficiency. Moreover, NT only markedly increased NH3 volatilization from basal fertilizer by 10–14% in average compared with CT, but had no obvious effects on total volatilization during the whole seasons. Tillage practices had no significant effects on grain yield and NUE. Our study suggested that the combination of slow-release N fertilizer plus inorganic N fertilizer and NT might be a sustainable method for mitigating greenhouse gas and NH3 emissions and improving grain yield and NUE in paddy fields of central China.

“…2 and 3A), which may be related to enzymatic hydrolysis of applied nitrogen fertilizers (Rochette et al, 2009a,b;Zhang et al, 2011;Shang et al, 2014). These fluxes then decreased rapidly and reached relatively low levels after 7-15 days, which may possibly be attribute to nitrogen infiltration, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen immobilization and nitrogen uptake by plants (Zhang et al, 2011).…”

“…It has been reported that grain production and fertilizer N consumption reached 502 million and 32.6 million tons nationally in 2007, increases of 54 and 191%, respectively, as compared with 1980, when fertilizer N production was 12.3 million nationally (Zhu and Chen, 2002;Guo et al, 2010). Over-applying N fertilizer in some regions has resulted in decreased N use efficiency (NUE) Qiao et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2012) and increased N losses to water bodies through nitrate leaching and surface runoff and to the atmosphere through ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emission (Vlek and Byrnes, 1986;De Datta and Buresh, 1989;Min et al, 2011Min et al, , 2012Shang et al, 2013). Those losses will eventually contribute to air pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, and eutrophication of water systems (Kronzucker et al, 2003;Shi et al, 2009;Shen et al, 2010;Liu and Zhang, 2011;Qiao et al, 2012).…”

A B S T R A C TSeveral high nitrogen use efficiency (high-NUE) rice cultivars have been developed to meet the increased food demand and urgent environmental concerns, but the effect of these cultivars on reducing N losses from paddy fields is not well documented. A two-year field experiment was conducted in the Taihu Lake region of China to evaluate the advantages of high-NUE rice on yields and N losses in 2011 and 2012. Two "high-NUE" rice cultivars and a conventional cultivar were compared at the same fertilizer N input of 200 kg N ha À1 . Ammonia (NH 3 ) volatilization, N 2 O emission, N leaching and runoff losses were monitored during the entire rice growing season within a rice-wheat rotation. The high-NUE rice cultivars Wuyunjing 23 (W23) and Zhendao 11 (Z11) achieved higher grain yields, and took up more N with a higher NUE than the conventional cultivar Wuyujing 3 (W3). There was a trend toward smaller N losses with the high-NUE cultivars W23 and Z11 (N leaching, N 2 O emissions and NH 3 volatilization decreased by 12-23%, 5-10% and 2-8%, respectively), but the total reductions for the growing season compared to W3 were not statistically significant. Even though the high-NUE cultivars did not significantly decrease the absolute losses of N from the field, they did show lower N losses expressed on a yield-scaled basis than the conventional cultivar due to higher grain yields. Cultivars W23 and Z11 produced 21-27% less NH 3 volatilization, 23-26% less N 2 O emission, 23-33% less N leaching, and 13-24% less N in runoff per ton of rice grain harvested than those of W3. Another cultivar Aoyusi 386 (A386), known to have a higher N uptake at early growth stages than W23 and Z11 was also planted in 2012. This cultivar significantly reduced N losses compared with the conventional variety. It was concluded that improving N uptake rate of high-NUE cultivars in the early stages of growth would be most effective in decreasing N losses and that the main part of N fertilizer applications should be later in the growing season than is currently practiced in the region.
