Abstract:
On a commercial farm near Aberaeron, mid Wales (clay loam topsoil texture), direct N2O-N emissions were measured from replicated (x3) plots (4 x 15 m) following spring applications of manufactured nitrogen (N) fertilisers to grassland. A control treatment was included where no N fertiliser was applied. Ammonium nitrate (AN) fertiliser (34.5% N) was applied at 5 different rates; 80, 160, 240, 320 and 400 kg N/ha, and urea fertiliser (46% N) at a rate of 320 kg N/ha, in four split applications (early-March, early-April, late-May and mid-July). In separate AN and urea treatments, a commercially available nitrification inhibitor was tested; dicyandiamide (DCD) was sprayed at a rate equivalent to 10 kg DCD/ha onto the plots immediately after each N fertiliser application. The N supplied by the DCD was accounted for in the total N application of 320 kg N/ha, which was applied in four splits. A DCD only treatment was also included, where DCD was sprayed onto the soil surface in four split applications giving a total N application of 26 kg/ha. Additionally, AN fertiliser was also applied in six splits in early-March, mid-March, early-April, mid-April, late-May and mid-July; the first four splits were of 30-40 kg/N ha i.e. ‘little and often’. This dataset is of fertiliser application rates (i.e. total nitrogen applied) and dates applied. NA = not applicable. If the data file is downloaded/opened in excel, dates may appear as dd-mm-yy instead of the standard yy-mm-dd.
