Evaluation of dicyandiamide treated urea and organic manure on nitrous oxide emission, nitrogen uptake and yield of rice grown on acid sulphate soil
Rice soil is a major source of nitrous oxide (N2O), and the application of N as inorganic and/or organic is an important factor affecting N2O emissions. The nitrification inhibitor (NI), dicyandiamide (DCD) is effective in suppressing nitrification and N2O emission. Therefore, the purpose of this...

| description | Rice soil is a major source of nitrous oxide (N2O), and the application of N as inorganic
and/or organic is an important factor affecting N2O emissions. The nitrification inhibitor
(NI), dicyandiamide (DCD) is effective in suppressing nitrification and N2O emission.
Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out a feasible fertilization practice
including DCD and organic manure (OM) for reducing N2O emission with better yield
and soil health of acid sulphate soil. An incubation study was conducted to observe the
impacts of DCD with OM and urea on N dynamics and N2O emission from acid
sulphate soil. The experiment was conducted with two-level factorial: seven N sources
and two NI levels. After 30 days of incubation, the mineral-N (NH4
+ + NO3
-) was
highest (255.07 μg g-1) for DCD with oil palm compost (OPC) + urea. The highest net
N-mineralization (213.07 μg g-1) was recorded for DCD with urea and net nitrification
(16.26 μg g-1) was recorded for urea alone, but the highest cumulative N2O emission
(5.46 μg g-1) was in poultry dung (PD) + urea. In addition, DCD could effectively
inhibit net N nitrification and N2O emission (22.01-32.40%). A glasshouse experiment
was conducted to investigate the effects of DCD with OM and urea on yield of MR219
rice and N2O emission from acid sulphate soil. The experiment used a two-level
factorial with four N sources and two NI levels. Nitrogen source and DCD interaction
significantly increased the grain yield of rice (4.76-21.95%) compared to urea alone.
The combined application of DCD with OPC + urea was most effective in a higher grain
yield (22.81 g/hill), nutrient uptake; N (631.64 g/hill), P (234.79 g/hill), K (651.01
g/hill), and S (87.95 g/hill) followed by DCD with PD + urea. Seasonal peaks of N2O
flux occurred 3rd - 10th day after urea fertilization during the rice growing season with
the value of 319.84-424.63 μm m-2 h-1. Cumulative N2O emission (CNE) during rice
growth season was 3.10-3.63 kg N2O-N ha-1 for N source and application of DCD
decreased the CNE by 21.97-27.07%, respectively. A field experiment was conducted at
Semerak, Kelantan, Malaysia to evaluate the influence of DCD with OM and urea on
N2O emission from MR 219 rice field and fertility of acid sulphate soil. The
experimental design was similar to glasshouse experiment. The highest grain yield
increase (31.62%) and total uptake of N (164.79 kg ha-1), P (55.42 kg ha-1), K (153.28
kg ha-1), and S (21.88 kg ha-1) was obtained for the application of DCD with OPC + urea
followed by DCD with PD + urea. The trend of seasonal peaks of N2O flux was similar to glasshouse, but the values were 347.65-456.60 μm m-2 h-1 for the N source.
Cumulative N2O emission during rice growth season was 3.27- 3.83 kg N2O-N ha-1 for
N source. Application DCD decreased the CNE by 15.72-24.72 %. Soil pH, organic
carbon, and soil primary- (N, P and K), secondary- (Ca, Mg and S) and micro-nutrient
(Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn) were significantly influenced by N source only following the order
of OPC + urea-N ≥ PD + urea-N > rice straw + urea-N > urea-N (control). Finally, the
integrated use of DCD with OPC and urea was more effective in reducing N2O
emissions with improving rice yield and soil health. Hence, combination of 13.5 kg ha-1
(15% of applied N) DCD with 1.8 t ha-1 (30% N of recommended dose) OPC and 90 kg
ha-1 (75% N of recommended dose) urea may be the most potential combination to
reduce N2O emission, improve rice yield and health of acid sulphate soil in Malaysia. |
