SUMMARYThree experiments carried out at Bridget's Experimental Husbandry Farm, Hampshire between 1984 and 1987 on clay loam and silty clay loam soils over chalk investigated the response of winter wheat grown after grass to spring-applied fertilizer nitrogen. The influence of method of establishment and the use of a nitrification inhibitor were also studied. Yields were similar whether the crops were established by direct drilling or following ploughing. Crops required between 88 and 209 kg N/ha nitrogen fertilizer for optimum yield. There was no consistent difference in nitrogen requirement nor were there consistent differences in nitrogen offtake (which is the amount of N in kg/ha removed in harvested grain) or apparent fertilizer recovery following ploughing or direct drilling. The use of a nitrification inhibitor increased grain yield when applied in the autumn without fertilizer, but not when applied with fertilizer in the spring.

A glasshouse experiment was done at Wagga Wagga, New South Sales to assess the value of a nitrification inhibitor2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)-pyridine ('N-serve' (R)) as a means of slowing down the rate of nitrification of ammonium added to a red earth soil. The effect of this chemical on the growth of a standard height and a semi-dwarf wheat variety was also assessed. The results indicate that a concentration of only 5 p.p.m. of the inhibitor in this soil slowed down the rate of nitrification of ammonium for up to 140 days. Although 'N-serve' was apparently phytotoxic to volunteer ryegrass and clover at the 5 p.p.m. level, the yield of wheat dry-matter after 60 days and grain at harvest were not significantly affected by concentrations of up to 10 p.p.m. in the soil. However, at the 10 p.p.m, level of inhibitor maturity was delayed.

Aim of the study: The use of pig slurry as fertiliser is associated with gaseous nitrogen (N) losses, especially ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N2O), leading to environmental problems and a reduction of its fertiliser value. This study evaluates, in an irrigated wheat crop, the effect of different additives mixed with pig slurry to decrease NH3 and N2O losses.Area of study: Middle Ebro valley, SpainMaterials and methods: The treatments were: i) non-N-fertilised control, ii) pig slurry (PS), iii) pig slurry with the urease inhibitor monocarbamide dihydrogen sulphate (PS-UI), iv) pig slurry with a microbial activator in development (PS-A), and v) pig slurry with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (PS-NI). Pig slurry was applied at a target rate of 120 kg NH4+-N ha-1. Ammonia volatilisation was measured using semi-opened static chambers after treatments application at presowing 2016 and side-dressing 2017. Nitrous oxide emissions were measured using static closed chambers after treatments application at the 2017 and 2018 side-dressing.Main results: Ammonia volatilisation was estimated to be 7-9% and 19-23% of NH4+-N applied after presowing and side-dressing applications, respectively. Additives were not able to reduce NH3 emissions in any application moment. PS-NI was the only treatment being effective in reducing N2O emissions, 70% respect to those in PS treatment. Crop yield parameters were not affected by the application of the additives because of the no effect of additives controlling NH3 losses and the low contribution of N2O losses to the N balance (<1 kg N2O-N ha-1).Research highlights: The use of 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate would be recommended from an environmental perspective, although without grain yield benefits.
