Abstract
N2O emission from soil fertilized with FYMOL, a nitrate containing compound, has been examined in the laboratory. Soil fertilized with slurry was enclosed in glass cuvettes (1 L) and the N2O concentration in the headspace of the cuvette was measured daily by gas Chromatograph. The cuvettes were ventilated after gas sampling and the cumulative N2O emission for 14 days was determined.
No significant difference in the N2O emission from soil was found when comparing FYMOL treated slurry with untreated slurry. Slurries from two farms were compared and no significant difference was found. However, the N2O emission was notably enhanced (from 3 to 9 times), when soil temperature, soil water content and N-level were increased from 10 to 20 °C, 60 to 100% and 50 to 150 kg N ha−1, respectively.
