Abstract:
Pig slurry was applied to winter wheat on a shallow free draining arable soil (above chalk), on a commercial farm located in East Yorkshire, north-east England. Slurry was applied to minimise ammonia emissions using commercial trailing hose machinery to replicated (x3) plots (21 x 21 m) arranged in a randomised block design. The slurry application rate was appropriate for the application technique (i.e. c.45 m3 ha-1) and was based on slurry N analysis. The amount of total slurry N applied was 48 kg ha-1. Nitrous oxide was measured following slurry application in spring and from an untreated control. Direct N2O measurements were made using 5 static chambers (0.8 m2 total surface area) per plot and analysed using gas chromatography. Measurements continued for about 12 months after slurry application. Ammonia losses were measured for c.7 days following slurry application using passive samplers (Leuning et al., 1985) on masts (1 per plot and background) in conjunction with the micrometeorological mass balance technique. Where measured, this dataset contains: annual nitrous oxide emissions (kg N2O-N/ha/year), annual nitrous oxide emission factors (% of total nitrogen applied), year experiment started, site location, crop type, previous crop type, soil texture, soil clay content, soil dry bulk density, soil organic carbon content, soil pH, total rainfall during the experimental period, nitrogen source, experimental treatments, application timing, application method, block number, total nitrogen applied, readily available nitrogen (i.e. if present, ammonium-N, nitrate-N and uric acid-N) applied, cumulative ammonia emission, cumulative nitrate leaching loss, crop yield, crop total nitrogen offtake, crop grain nitrogen offtake, manure dry matter, manure pH, manure organic carbon, manure total nitrogen content, manure ammonium-N content, manure nitrate-N content, manure uric acid-N content and time to incorporation (i.e. the length of time between application and incorporation). ND = not determined. NA = not applicable. The N2O emission factors are calculated using annual cumulative N2O values to 15 decimal places, however the annual cumulative N2O and emission factor values have been reported to 2 decimal places.
