Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the losses N-NH3 by volatilization and agronomic efficiency a mixture urea with natural zeolite, as topdressing fertilization, in an area for commercial production roses (Rosa spp.). treatments were: two rates (60 120 kg ha-1), without zeolite. N sources were applied directly soil surface, determined using free semi-open static chamber. quanti...

The application of nitrification inhibitors (NIs) is considered to be an efficient way delay nitrification, but the effect NIs combinations on soil and ammonia (NH3) volatilization are not clear in soils with different pH values. In this study, we explored nitrapyrin (CP) its 3, 4-dimethylepyrazole phosphate (DMPP), dicyandiamide (DCD) transformation nitrogen, potential rate (PNR), a 120-day in...

Abstract Urea is a renowned nitrogen (N) fertilizer widely used in plant N nutrition owing to its high concentration (46%). The effect of the application rate on ammonia (NH 3 ) emission into environment and soil properties yet be unraveled. NH from sandy loam amended with manure compost (T1: 5000 kg ha −1 urea at different rates (100, 200, 400 designated as T2, T3, T4, respectively) replicatio...

The volatilization of NH3 from landapplied manure is not only a loss of valuable N, but also an air quality concern because NH3 plays a role in the formation of airborne particulate matter, which can be a health hazard. The relative differences in potential NH3 losses from land application of liquid dairy manure were determined via 3 methods: surface application, Aerway incorporation (shallow i...

Inhibition of microbial uricase in poultry manure is critical to reduce NH3 volatilization, because hydrolysis of uric acid by microbial uricase is the first step in the production of NH3 gas in poultry manure. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of minerals on uricase activity and NH3 volatilization from poultry manure. In Experiment 1, an in vitro enzyme assay was used to...

Nitrogen losses from open beef feedlots are a concern. Methods that decrease volatilization losses will lead to greater manure N, which is likely to be beneficial in open lot beef operations. Twelve or more pens were dedicated to N research whereby N intake, retention, and excretion were quantified and a mass balance conducted using manure, runoff, soil balance, and loss quantities. The objecti...

The treatment of lead-containing cathode-ray tube (CRT) glass is an important environmental issue. One approach is the removal of lead by chloride volatilization. In the present work, the reaction of CRT glass with PVC as the chlorinating agent and Ca(OH)2 as the chlorine absorber was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in air. Seven reaction steps occurring at different temperatur...
