Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) and urease inhibitor hydroquinone (HQ) on ammonia ( $NH_3$ ) and nitrous oxide ( $N_2O$ ) emission from pig slurry applied to Timothy (Phleum pretense L.) sward. The daily emission of ammonia ( $NH_3$ ) and nitrous oxide ( $N_2O$ ) was monitored for 9 days in three different treatments; 1) control (only pig slurry application), 2) DCD treatment (pig slurry + DCD), and 3) HQ treatment (pig slurry + HQ). Most $NH_3$ emission occurred after 4~5 days in three treatments. Total $NH_3$ emission, expressed as a cumulative amount throughout the measurement time, was $1.33kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ in the control. The DCD and HQ treatment decreased total $NH_3$ emission by 16.3% and 25.1%, respectively, compared to the control. Total $N_2O$ emission in the control was $47.1g\;N\;ha^{-1}$ . The DCD and HQ treatment resulted in a reduction of 67.9% and 41.8% in total $N_2O$ emission, respectively, compared to the control. The present study clearly indicated that nitrification and urease inhibitor exhibited positive roles in reducing N losses through $NH_3$ and $N_2O$ emission.
