Increasing Wheat Production While Decreasing Xa0055248 Nitrogen Losses from Ammonium Bicarbonate INCREASING WHEAT PRODUCTION WHILE DECREASING XA0055248 NITROGEN LOSSES FROM AMMONIUM BICARBONATE XIANFANG WEN, JIARONG PAN, QING CHEN Institute for Application of Atomic Energy, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science, Beijing ZHANFENG GAO, LIANG CHEN, XIAORONG XU, HONGMEI WANG Institute of Agricultural Physics and Physiology-Biochemistry, Hebei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shijiazhuang China Abstract The objectives of a 4-year field experiment were i) to investigate the effects of rate and timing of application of ammonium bicarbonate on N-uptake efficiency by irrigated winter wheat, ii) to determine the fate of fertilizer N in wheat followed by maize, and iii) to study nitrate dynamics in the soil after N-fertilizer application to evaluate groundwater pollution by leaching. Nitrogen-application rates significantly affected wheat grain yields and straw dry matter. Grain yields were higher with 150 than with 225 kg N ha" 1, whereas the highest fractional recoveries of N from ammonium bicarbonate occurred with 75 kg N ha~l (38.5% in 1994-95 and 33.5% in 1996-97). On the basis of grain yield, N recovery and soil-N balance, ammonium bicarbonate at 150 kg N ha"', was the optimum rate, when applied basally and as a top dressing to wheat. Subsequent yields of maize stover and grain were affected by N applied to the wheat, suggesting that fertilizer recommendations, in terms of rate and timing, should be made on the basis of effects on the cropping rotation as a whole. Water-holding capacity of the soil was poor, therefore large applications of N are likely to cause nitrate pollution of ground water. 1. INTRODUCTION Nitrogen is the most important limiting nutritional factor for crop production. Fertilizer inputs are, therefore, required to obtain acceptable yields, but the amounts of fertilizer N that are taken up by crops are usually relatively low, 20 to 50%, and dependent on several factors including management practice. In China, approximately 45% of fertilizer N is applied as ammonium bicarbonate, estimated at 45 Mt annually. The fraction of N applied as ammonium bicarbonate that is taken up by crops can be as low as 25%, due to instability and volatilization [1]. Improper use further adds to losses of N [2]. Since the 1970s, there have been several studies on the physical and chemical characteristics of ammonium bicarbonate [3, 4] with a view to improving its efficiency of uptake by crops, with some success [5, 6, 7, 8]. The objective of this work was (a) to investigate the effects of rate and timing of ammonium bicarbonate on N-uptake efficiency by winter wheat under irrigation in Hebei province; (b) to investigate the fate of fertilizer N on current and subsequent crops; and (c) to study dynamics of nitrate in the soil after fertilizer application and evaluate groundwater pollution caused by leaching. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1. Experiment site The experiment was conducted from October 1994 through August 1998, at the Agricultural Experiment Station of Hebei Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Shijiazhuang city, 38°02'N 114°25'E. This is in Hebei province, part of the North China Plain, which is important in winter-wheat production in rotation with maize. The fertilizers chiefly used are ammonium bicarbonate and urea. Because of ammonium bicarbonate's powder formulation and losses of N by volatilization, farmers generally prefer urea. 177 In this region, fertilizer applications to winter wheat are generally 150 kg N ha" 1 and 75 kg P2O5 ha~l for soils of medium fertility. The climate is semi-arid with a cold, dry winter, and hot summer. Relative humidity is high in summer and low in winter. Climatic characteristics are shown in Table I. The experiment field was 80 to 100 m above sea level and the water table was at 18 m; fertilizer experiments had not previously been done at this site. The field layout is shown in Fig. 1. TABLE I.

Crops The rotation used in this experiment was wheat/maize/wheat. Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. 71-3) was sown around 10 October and harvested around 10 June of each year. Maize (Zea mays L. cv. Yedan 13) was planted immediately after the wheat and harvested around 25 September each year. 2.4. Fertilizers From 1994 to 1997, the N was applied as ammonium bicarbonate (17% N, moisture content 3%) and 15N_enrjched (5.54% abundance) ammonium bicarbonate. For the 1997-98 growing season, urea (Ncontent 46%, H2O content 2.7%) and 15N-enriched urea (5.32% 15N) were used. The unenriched fertilizers were provided by Zhengdong Chemical fertilizer factory, Shijiazhuang city, and the ^N- enriched counterparts were supplied by the Shanghai Research Academy of Chemical Industry. 2.5. Treatments 2.5.1. Rates and timing ofN The N-rate design is shown in Table IV.

  • Urea: a Low Cost Nitrogen Fertilizer with Special Management Requirements 1
    Urea: A Low Cost Nitrogen Fertilizer with Special Management Requirements 1 may loose from 50% to 90% of its N as ammonia if not Urea: A Low Cost protected within a few hours of application. Nitrogen Fertilizer with Conserving Urea-N Special Management If the urea-to-NH4 reaction takes place in the soil the Requirements nitrogen will be captured as exchangeable ammonium on the soil exchange complex and little if any loss of ammonia gas to the air will occur. Therefore, the key to conserving urea fertilizer nitrogen is to put the urea into the soil and not merely on the soil. Soil incorporation of urea can be done several ways. Since urea is completely water soluble, when applied to the soil surface it can be moved down with irrigation water or rainfall, if one or the other occurs immediately after fertilization. Also, urea can be broadcast and plowed down immediately. And urea can be injected or banded into the soil. Urea (46-0-0) usually has the lowest cost per pound Soil banding or injection is usually not feasible with an of nitrogen compared to other single-element nitrogen established crop such as pasture. Under these conditions fertilizers. However, urea undergoes unique chemical the nitrogen fertilizer of choice would be either ammonium transformations when field applied and severe losses in nitrate, ammonium sulfate, or one of the ammoniated efficiency may result if special management practices are phosphates (for example 11-52-0). not followed. The purpose of this fact sheet is to briefly describe urea transformations and to suggest how urea-N Urea is applied alone or in combination with other may be conserved with proper management in the field.

Wangl, K, J. Reddy, and L. C. Munn' Water Resources Center, University of Wyoming,Laramie, WY 82071 pBSTRACT: A variety of extractants has been used to assess the availability of molybdenum (Mo) in soils. Most of the extractants have been studied from a deficiency aspect rather than for soils with Mo toxicity, and none of them have been used to extract available Mo from mine spoils. The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of different chemical extractants for assessing the availability of Mo in mine spoils and soils. One mine spoil and three soils were treated with sodium molybdate and then subjected to wetting and drying cycles for two months. These spoiVsoils were extracted with ammonium bicarbonate DTPA (AB-DTPA), ammonium carbonate, and ammonium oxalate solution for available Mo. Crested wheatgrass (Agropyroncristatum) and alfalfa (Medicagosativa) were grown in the spoil/soils in a greenhouse to determine plant uptake of Mo. Additionally, four mine spoils and six soils were extracted and analyzed for available Mo as mentioned above.

Because of the small particle size, it has a high surface-to-volume ratio, making it a highly absorptive material. Although the TAP review identifies it as an anticaking agent and a processing aid that is not present in the final product, there is no annotation to limit its use. Kaolin is also produced in nano-sized particles.1 Kaolin should be annotated to specify allowed uses and prohibit the use of nano-kaolin.
