Abstract:
Aeration method was used to study the influence of different modes of fertilization on soil NH
3 volatilization on corn farmlands. Results show that the combination of straw soil incorporation and deep autumn fertilization significantly decreases soil NH
3 volatilization. Cumulative total NH
3 volatilizations under different autumn fertilization treatments are between 5.37kg/hm
2 and 6.92kg/hm
2, accounting for 0.28% to 1.18% of applied N through fertilization.However, no significant difference is observed among treatments. Cumulative total soil NH
3 volatilization in spring fertilization treatments is higher than that of autumn, and a significant difference is observed among spring treatments. Difference in NH
3 volatilization between spring and autumn treatments is obvious. The least difference (2.65kg/hm
2) is found between spring and autumn straw mulching and the highest difference(25.58kg/hm
2) is found between spring and autumn straw soil incorporation. About 1.77%~17.06% higher NH
3 volatilization occurs in spring.
