| Miêu tả: | Nitrification inhibitors can effectively decrease nitrification rates and nitrous oxide (N2O) emission while increasing crop yield under certain conditions. However, there is no information available on the effects of nitrification inhibitors and tillage practices on N2O emissions from maize cropping in Iran. To study how tillage practices and nitrapyrin (a nitrification inhibitor) affect N2O emission, a split factorial experiment using a completely randomized block design with three replications was carried out in Northeast Iran, which has a cold semiarid climate. Two main plots were created with conventional tillage and minimum tillage levels, and two nitrogen (N) fertilizer (urea) management systems (with and without nitrapyrin application) were created as subplots. Tillage level did not have any significant effect on soil ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3–) concentrations, cumulative amount and yield-scaled N2O emission, and aboveground biomass of maize, whereas nitrapyrin application showed significant effect. Nitrapyrin application significantly reduced the cumulative amount of N2O emission by 41% and 32% in conventional tillage and minimum tillage practices, respectively. A reduction in soil NO3– concentration by nitrapyrin was also observed. The average yield-scaled N2O emission was 13.6 g N2O-N kg–1 N uptake in both tillage systems without nitrapyrin application and was significantly reduced to 7.9 and 8.2 g N2O-N kg–1 N uptake upon the application of nitrapyrin in minimum tillage and conventional tillage practices, respectively. Additionally, nitrapyrin application increased maize biomass yield by 4% and 13% in the minimum tillage and conventional tillage systems, respectively. Our results indicate that nitrapyrin has a potential role in reducing N2O emission from agricultural systems where urea fertilizers are broadcasted, which is common in Iran due to the practice of traditional farming. |
