In order to explore the effects of nitrapyrin (N-Serve) application on greenhouse gas emission and nitrogen (N) leaching of a waterlogged maize ( L.) field, we investigated the effects of applying nitrapyrin on soil ammonium (NH-N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO-N) content, nitrous oxide (NO) fluxes, and the warming potential (GWP) in a waterlogged maize field. The design included three treatments: waterlogging treatment with only urea application (V-3WL), waterlogging treatment with urea and nitrapyrin application (V-3WL+N), and no waterlogging treatment applying only urea (CK). Our results revealed that waterlogging led to the increase of nitrate concentrations across the soil profile, thus potentially increasing N leaching and decreasing N use efficiency. The accumulated NO emissions increased significantly in waterlogged plots compared to control plots, and maximum NO emission fluxes occurred during the process of soil drying after waterlogging; this resulted in an increase in GWP and NO greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) by 299% and 504%, respectively, compared to those of CK. However, nitrapyrin application was able to reduce NO emissions. Nitrapyrin application was also good for decreasing GWP and GHGI by 34% and 50%, respectively, compared to V-3WL. In addition, nitrapyrin application was conducive to reduce N leaching and improve N use efficiency, resulting in a yield increase by 34%, compared to that of V-3WL. The application of nitrapyrin helped to mitigate agriculture-source greenhouse effects and N leaching induced by waterlogging, and was a high N-efficient fertilizer method for a waterlogged field.

Global warming potential assessment under reclaimed water and livestock wastewater irrigation coupled with co-application of inhibitors and biochar.

The application of nitrification inhibitors (nitrapyrin) and urease inhibitors (N-(N-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide) under conventional water resources has been considered as an effective means to improve nitrogen utilization efficiency and mitigate soil greenhouse gas emissions. However, it is not known whether the inhibitors still have an inhibitory effect under unconventional water resources (reclaimed water and livestock wastewater) irrigation and whether their use in combination with biochar improves the mitigation effect. Therefore, unconventional water resources were used for irrigation, with groundwater (GW) control.

Disturbance mitigation of thiencarbazone-methyl·isoxaflutole on bacterial communities through nitrification inhibitor and attapulgite.

There is a knowledge gap in the interaction between the effects of herbicide thiencarbazone-methyl·isoxaflutole on soil microflora and environmental parameters, which leads to a lack of measures in mitigating damage to bacterial communities from the herbicide use. The impacts of thiencarbazone-methyl·isoxaflutole and soil parameters on the diversity, structure and functions of soil bacterial communities were clarified, and the effects and potential mitigation mechanisms of nitrapyrin and modified attapulgite with bacterial function intervention on bacterial communities were explored through incubation and field experiments. The results showed that as thiencarbazone-methyl·isoxaflutole application increased, the stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity also increased.

Study on the effectiveness and mechanism of a sustainable dual slow-release model to improve N utilization efficiency and reduce N pollution in black soil.

Electronic address:

Long-term intensive cultivation has led to serious N loss and low N fertilizer utilization efficiency (NUE) in black soil areas. The lost N is not only a waste of resources but also a serious pollution threat to the environment, leading to the decline in water quality and food safety and the greenhouse effect. In the present study, a stable dual slow-release model, CPCS-Urea, was prepared by in situ polymerization using nitrapyrin, urea and melamine-formaldehyde resin as raw materials.

Article Synopsis
  • * In experiments with various fertilization treatments using CPCS, results showed that CPCS reduced the degradation rate and increased the half-life of the inhibitor compared to traditional nitrapyrin products.
  • * CPCS was effective in slowing the conversion of ammonium to nitrate for over 42 days and influenced microbial gene abundances, suggesting it could be a more viable option for managing nitrogen in black soil.
