Abstract

Ammonia volatilization is the major form of nitrogen (N) loss from flooded paddy soils and causes low N use efficiency. The effects of controlled release fertilizer (latex coated urea complex fertilizer, LCU) on reducing N loss by ammonia volatilization was measured comparing with urea in rice culture system of direct seeding on dry soil. In the treatment of urea, $NH_4-N$ concentration in surface water after flooding increased rapidly up to $8-10mg\;L^{-1}$ as affected by topdressing, while in the LCU treatment $NH_4-N$ concentration in surface water was less than $1mg\;L^{-1}$ during rice growing season. Relation of $NH_4-N$ concentration in surface water and ammonia volatilization was significant in urea treatment. The amount of ammonia volatilized from rice paddy of LCU treatment was $2.4-3.0kg\;ha^{-1}$ and the rate of ammonia volatilization from N fertilizer applied was only 2.0-2.3% compared with 5.9-7.9% in urea treatment. Therefore, N loss by ammonia volatilization could be reduced by 72-76% with by LCU compared with urea in rice culture system of direct seeding on dry soil.

영남지역 식질논에서 벼를 건답직파하여 재배하면서 완효성질소비료인 LCU를 표준시비량의 80%와 100% 수준으로 시용시 관행 요소 대비 암모니아 휘산의 경감효과를 검토하였다. 토양 $NH_4-N$ 농도는 파종 후 45일경에 가장 높았는데 LCU 처리구에서는 $92-100mg\;kg^{-1}$, 요소 시용구에서는 $73mg\;kg^{-1}$였으며, 전 생육기간동안 요소 시용에 비해 LCU 처리구가 높았다. 토양 $NO_3-N$의 농도는 모든 처리에서 파종 후 10일경에 가장 높았는데 LCU 처리구는 $30-33mg\;kg^{-1}$, 요소 시 용구는 $27mg\;kg^{-1}$였고, 건답기간동안 높게 유지되다가 담수 후 낮아져 파종 후 80일경 이후에는 모든 처리에서 $1-2mg\;kg^{-1}$로 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 표면수의 $NH_4-N$ 농도는 요소시용구에서는 추비 후 $NH_4-N$ 농도가 $8-10mg\;L^{-1}$로 일시적으로 상승하였으나, LCU 처리구에서는 생육기간동안 $1mg\;L^{-1}$이하였다. 표면수의 pH는 담수 후 생육기간동안 요소 및 LCU 처리에서 7.5-8.3 였으나 요수구의 pH가 다소 높게 유지되었다. 요소 시용구에서의 암모니아 휘산량은 추비 시용 후 급격히 증가하였고, 시비질소에 대한 총 휘산량은 $8.7-11.8kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ 이었다. 한편 LCU 시용에 따른 암모니아 휘산량은 LCU의 시비량에 관계없이 $2.4-3.0kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$였으며, 연차간의 변이도 요소에 비해 매우 적었다. 따라서 벼 건답직파재배에서 LCU 시용시 암모니아 휘산량은 요소 시용에 비해 72-76% 경감되었다.
