چکیده
Nitrogen fertilization is essential for optimizing crop yields and economic returns in irrigated cropping systems in the Central Great Plains area of the USA. However, N application generally increases the emissions of the potent greenhouse gas, N 2 O, from these systems. Nitrous oxide is produced through nitrifi cation and denitrifi cation processes in the soil. Agriculture contributes approximately 67% of the total anthropogenic N 2 O emissions in the USA. Information on how N fertilizer source might affect soil N 2 O emissions from semi-arid, irrigated cropping systems is limited. Halvorson et al. (2008, 2009, 2010a, 2010b) showed N rate, N source, tillage, and crop rotation infl uence N 2 O emissions from semi-arid, irrigated cropping systems in northern Colorado. This article presents a summary of the effects of N source on soil N 2 O emissions from studies conducted from 2009 to 2011 within NT and ST irrigated corn systems located near Fort Collins, Colorado on a Fort Collins clay loam soil. Nitrogen rates were 0 and 202 kg N/ha (0 and 180 lb N/A). Nitrogen sources compared to the commonly used granular urea (46% N) and liquid UAN (32% N) included a controlled-release polymer-coated urea (ESN), stabilized urea and UAN products containing nitrifi cation and urease inhibitors (SuperU and UAN+AgrotainPlus), and UAN containing a slow release N source (Nfusion). A subsurface band ESN treatment (ESNssb) was also included. Each N source, except ESNssb, was surface band applied at corn emergence and watered into the soil the next day with a linear move sprinkler irrigation system. Nitrous oxide fl uxes were measured two to three times per week during the growing seasons using vented static chambers and a gas chromatograph analyzer (see photos). Details on methodology can be found in Halvorson et al. (2011) and Halvorson and Del Grosso (2012).

B et te r C ro ps /V ol . 9 7 (2 01 3, N o. 4 ) Silicon is a major component of sand, silt and clay minerals. Because of this abundance, it typically has not been considered as a limiting factor in soil fertility. However numerous fi eld studies have shown that supplying crops with adequate plant-available Si can suppress plant disease, reduce insect attack, improve environmental stress toleran...

A future oriented control system for the power and water industries must be able to cover more tasks than just the usual automation and optimization of plant processes. In the power generation and water industries, as well as in other process industries that are characterized by a high utilization of resources, there is a growing demand for more cost efficiency, environmental compatibility and ...

Platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs are front-line therapies for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. However, intrinsic drug resistance limits the clinical efficacy of these agents. Recent evidence suggests that loss of the translesion polymerase, Polζ, can sensitize tumor cell lines to cisplatin, although the relevance of these findings to the treatment of chemoresistant tumors in v...
