Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at a commercial farm near Ollerton, central England on a sandy loam soil using small field plots (10 x 3 m) arranged in a randomised block design with three replicates per treatment. Cattle urine (at 5 L/m2) was applied to grassland in early-June and in mid-September 2011. A control treatment was included where no urine was applied. In separate treatments, two commercially available nitrification inhibitors were tested; dicyandiamide (DCD) and an additive containing two pyrazole derivatives (1H-1,2,4-triazole and 3-methylpyrazole) were pre-mixed with the urine prior to application to give application rates of 15 kg/ha and 5 L/ha for the DCD and the pyrazole derivatives, respectively. The urine was collected from lactating dairy cows at Reading University, kept refrigerated at less than 4°C and applied within two days of collection. This dataset contains topsoil mineral nitrogen values measured to a depth of 0-10 cm. Measurements were taken from all treatments, for 2 months after application on days when nitrous oxide flux measurements were also made. Pyrazole derivative = an additive containing two pyrazole derivatives (1H-1,2,4-triazole and 3-methylpyrazole). If the data file is downloaded/opened in excel, dates may appear as dd-mm-yy instead of the standard yy-mm-dd.
