We examined the effects of high concentrations (4, 8, or 16 mM) of nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4) on water relations and growth of trembling aspen seedlings in solution culture. In contrast to 16 mM ammonium, after four weeks of treatments, the 16 mM nitrate treatment resulted in the highest growth rates, root hydraulic conductivity and aquaporin-mediated root water flux. At lower (4 and 8 mM) ammonium concentrations, seedling growth and water relations were comparable to equivalent nitrate concentrations. When after the four weeks of treatments, ammonium concentrations were reduced by 50% (to 2, 4 and 8 mM) for additional 4 weeks, slight increases in seedling growth and water relations as well as decreases in mortality were observed indicating that aspen seedlings were capable of recovery from higher ammonium concentrations. The results indicate that aspen seedlings are tolerant of high nitrate concentrations, but intolerant of high ammonium concentrations. The study also suggested that ammonium was not toxic to aspen seedlings at moderate concentrations and that the seedlings were capable of assimilating and utilizing both ammonium and nitrate as a nitrogen source.  相似文献

Ammonium salts used as fertilizers may cause soil acidification by two different processes: nitrification in soil and net release of protons from roots. Their influence on soil pH may vary depending on the distance from root surface. The aim of this study was to distinguish between these two processes. For this purpose rape seedlings were grown 10 d in a system which separated roots from soil by a fine-meshed screen. As a function of distance from the plane root layer formed on the screen, pH, titratable and exchangeable acidity and NO3- and NH4-nitrogen were determined. The soil, a luvisol from loess, was supplied with no N or (NH4)2SO4 either with or without a nitrification inhibitor (DCD). The bulk soil pH remained unaffected when no N or 400 mg NH4? N kg?1 soil plus DCD was applied but it decreased from 6.6 to 5.8 without DCD. In contrast, rhizosphere pH decreased in all cases, mainly within a distance of 1 mm from the root plane only, but with gradients extending to between 2 and 4 mm into the soil. The strongest pH decrease, from 6.6 to 4.9, occurred at the root surface of plants treated with both NH4-N and DCD where most of the mineral N remained as ammonium. In this case Al was solubilized in the rhizosphere as indicated by exchangeable acidity. Total soil acidity produced in the NH4 treatment without DCD was mainly derived from nitrification compared to root released protons. However, acidification of the rhizosphere was diminished by nitrification because nitrate ions taken up by the roots counteracted net proton release. It is concluded that nitrification inhibitors may reduce proton input from ammonium fertilizers but enhance acidification at the soil-root interface which may cause Al toxicity to plants.  相似文献

Nanoclay polymer composites (NCPCs) were synthesized with partially neutralized acrylic acid and bentonites and loaded with urea and nitrification inhibitors (NIs) to act as a slow release carrier of nitrogen (N). The resulting product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD of NCPCs revealed that the bentonite layers were completely exfoliated and dispersed in the composite after the polymerization. The water absorbency of pure polymer (Acrylic acid + Acrylamide) was 197.53 g g?1 and 137.75 g g?1 by nanocomposite (8% nanobentonite) in distilled water. The nitrification inhibition ability of these NCPCs was evaluated by incubation study for 60 days in laboratory at 28°C and 50% water-holding capacity. The Schiff base -NCPCs were most effective at inhibiting nitrification (30–87%) compared to dicyandiamide and Neem oil. A column study was performed to know the movement of NH4-N and NO3-N at three different depths. Result showed that the Schiff base -NCPC decreased nitrate movement by 78.5% at the depth of 5 cm in soil column. The slow release of nitrogen and good water retention capacity confirmed that these NCPCs can be viably exploited for application in agriculture.  相似文献

Microbial oxidation of ammonium to nitrate may impose dangers to ecosystem functioning through soil and atmosphere contamination with end products or intermediate gases. A wide range of chemicals can inhibit nitrification under soil and laboratory conditions. In the present study, the effectiveness of chloride compared to 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) as a standard nitrification inhibitor was evaluated. The results showed that DMPP (especially with double concentrations) inhibited nitrification for a longer time, until the end of incubation period. Chloride in the form of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) or potassium chloride (KCl) also significantly inhibited nitrification compared to the control during the 7-week incubation period. This inhibition was positively correlated with applied chloride concentrations in soil. During a 5-week incubation period, the strongest concentration (500 mg/kg soil) showed more inhibition than concentrations of 250 or 100 mg/kg soil, particularly when compared to control. The results suggest that beside commercial nitrification inhibitors, chloride can significantly inhibit microbial nitrification in soil. Therefore, when chloride is not a soil problem, the chloride form of nitrogen fertilizers (e.g., ammonium chloride) could be a proper nitrogen fertilizer.  相似文献

Reductive dissolution of soil manganese (Mn) oxides increases potential toxicity of Mn2+ to plants. In order to examine the effect of nitrogen forms on reduction of Mn oxides in rhizosphere soil, a rhizobox experiment was employed to investigate the reduction of Mn oxides due to the growth of soybean and maize in an Oxisol with various contents of NO3–-N and NH4+-N and a total N of 200 mg kg?1. The results showed that exchangeable Mn2+ in rhizosphere soil was 9.6–32.7 mg kg?1 higher than that in bulk soil after cultivation of soybean and maize for 80 days, which suggested that plant root exudates increased reduction of soil Mn oxides. Application of ammonium-N promoted reduction of Mn oxides in rhizosphere soil compared to application of nitrate and nitrate together with ammonium. Soybean cultivation led to a higher reduction in soil Mn oxides than maize cultivation. Application of single ammonium enhanced Mn uptake by the plants and led to more Mn accumulating in plant leaves, especially for soybean. Therefore, application of ammonium-based fertilizer can promote reduction of soil Mn oxides, while application of nitrate-based fertilizer can inhibit reduction of soil Mn oxides and thus reduce Mn2+ toxicity to plants.  相似文献

Steaming of narrow soil bands prior to sowing is a new technique that reduces the need for intra-row weeding in herbicide-free row crops. However, the steam treatment may eliminate both weed seeds and non-target soil organisms, thereby affecting the nutrient cycling in the soil. This study tested the effect of band-steaming on N and C dynamics in a sandy loam soil that was steamed in situ to maximal temperatures of 70–90°C using a prototype band-steamer. Soil samples (0–5 cm depth) were collected during 90 days from band-steamed soil, undisturbed control soil, and control soil treated just mechanically with the band-steamer. In the steamed soil, ammonium concentrations increased from 1.1 to 20.3 μg NH 4 + -N g?1 dry weight during 28 days. This coincided with an immediate and persistent inhibition of potential nitrification (33–61% inhibition during 90 days). Assays of the temperature response of potential nitrification confirmed the temperature sensitivity and showed an optimum temperature of 27.1°C and a temperature coefficient (Q 10) of 1.9. The effects of band-steaming on concentrations of nitrate and water-soluble carbon were divergent and stimulatory, respectively, but generally not statistically significant. Mechanical effects of band-steaming were negligible. The observed ammonium surplus could be of agronomic benefit and should be evaluated in integrated studies of the effects of band-steaming on crop growth and plant N uptake.  相似文献

Most Brazilian soil-testing laboratories use Mehlich 1 and 1.0 M potassium chloride (KCl) solutions as extractants for the determination of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and sodium (Na) and for exchangeable calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and aluminum (Al) in agricultural soil samples. Other laboratories use a combination of exchangeable ionic resin and KCl procedures. With recent adoption of the inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES) in routine soil-testing laboratories, soil extraction with 1.0 M ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) became an alternative due to the possibility of determining all exchangeable elements in one run (Ca, Mg, K, Mn, Na, and Al), leaving determination of phosphorus (P) with Mehlich 1 or exchangeable ionic resin. To evaluate the performance of the NH4Cl solution, an experiment was carried out with thirty-seven samples of soils representative of the southernmost state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul. Four extraction solutions [Mehlich 1 at soil/solution ratio of 1:10 and 1.0 M ammonium acetate (NH4OAc), 1.0 M KCl, and 1.0 M NH4Cl at soil/solution ratio 1:20] were used with three different shaking times (5, 30, and 60 min). Correlation coefficients among all methods were high. Mehlich 1 did not perform well against NH4OAc and NH4Cl, despite the high correlation coefficients, with values consistently lower for K, even when the time of extraction was increased from 5 to 30 or 60 min. However, for concentrations less than 0.30 cmol kg?1 (i.e., in the range of K deficiency), both solutions performed similarly. Calcium and Mg increased with time of shaking. Comparable values of exchangeable Ca, Mg, and K, as well as of Al and Mn, were obtained with 1.0 M NH4Cl with 60 min shaking and the standard procedures of 1.0 M NH4OAc and 1.0 M KCl. The determination of Al by traditional titration/back-titration of the 1.0 M KCl solution gave slightly greater results compared to ICP-OES obtained using extraction with 1.0 M NH4Cl. The results indicate that for Ca, Mg, Mn, and Al, it is possible to replace the traditional 1.0 M KCl extraction with 1.0 M NH4Cl solution, with 60 min shaking time and a soil/solution ratio of 1:20.  相似文献

Abstract

Inhibition of nitrification in soil results in a decreased ratio of nitrate‐nitrogen (NO3‐N) to ammonium‐nitrogen (NH4‐N). If the conditions for NO3‐N loss by leaching or denitrification exist, nitrification inhibitors should increase concentrations of total inorganic soil nitrogen (N) (TISN) (NH4‐N + NO3‐N). This can then result in plants taking up more N and developing more crop yield or biomass. This study examined whether inhibition of nitrification by dicyandiamide (DCD) would result in increased concentrations of TISN under field conditions. The effects of DCD on soil N were evaluated in hyperthermic sandy soils planted to potato (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Atlantic). Treatments were factorial combinations of N as ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) at 67, 134, and 202 kg N ha‐1 and DCD at 0, 5.6, and 11.2 kg DCD ha‐1. Soil NH4‐N, NO3‐N, and TISN concentrations were determined for up to five potato growth stages at two locations for two years for a total of 16 determinations (cases), i.e., four were not determined. The N form ratio [NO3‐N/(NH4‐N + NO3‐N] x 100 was decreased in 10 of 16 cases, indicating that nitrification was inhibited by DCD. With two of these 10 cases, TISN concentration increased, but with four others, TISN concentration decreased with at least one N rate. With four of these 10 cases, inhibition of nitrification had no effect on TISN concentration. Under the conditions of these field studies, DCD inhibited nitrification more often than not. Inhibition of nitrification was, however, more likely to reduce TISN concentration than to increase it. This may have been due to DCD effects on immobization of applied NH4‐N.  相似文献

Tomato seedlings were transferred to continuously, aerated plastic containers. Treatments consisted of three nitrogen (N) levels [0, 1.5, and 3% as ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) and ammonium phosphate (NH4H2PO4) 2:1 w/w] and three salinity levels (0, 30, and 60 mM using sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl2)]. Results indicated significant positive and negative responses in fruits fresh weight to nitrogen and salinity treatments, respectively. Number of fruits and root length decreased at high salinity level. Phosphorus (P) content was highest in fruits and lowest in roots. Fruit P uptake decreased with salinity applications in N controls. At low salinity levels, N application mitigated the salinity detrimental effects; however, such an effect was not observed at the high salinity level. Nitrogen application significantly decreased iron, zinc, copper, and manganese concentration and uptake. Application of nitrogen and salinity levels significantly increased the citric acid content of tomato fruits. Vitamin C content of fruits was neither influenced by nitrogen nor by salinity.  相似文献

A better understanding of the nitrogen (N) cycle in agricultural soils is crucial for developing sustainable and environmentally friendly N fertilizer management and to propose effective nitrous oxide (N2O) mitigation strategies. This laboratory study quantified gross nitrogen transformation rates in uncultivated and cultivated black soils in Northeast China. It also elucidated the contribution made by nitrification and denitrification to the emissions of N2O. In the laboratory, soil samples adjusted to 60 % water holding capacity (WHC) were spiked with 15NH4NO3 and NH4 15NO3 and incubated at 25 °C for 7 days. The size and 15N enrichment of the mineral N pools and the N2O emission rates were determined between 0 and 7 days. The results showed that the average N2O emission rate was 21.6 ng N2O-N kg?1 h?1 in cultivated soil, significantly higher than in the uncultivated soil (11.6 ng N2O-N kg?1 h?1). Denitrification was found to be responsible for 32.1 % of the N2O emission in uncultivated soil, and the ratio increased significantly to 43.2 % in cultivated soil, due to the decrease in soil pH. Most of the increase in net N2O-N emissions observed in the cultivated soil was resulting from the increased production of N2O through denitrification. Gross nitrification rate was significantly higher in the cultivated soil than in the uncultivated soil, and the ratio of gross nitrification rate/ammonium immobilization rate was 6.87 in cultivated soil, much larger than the uncultivated soil, indicating that nitrification was the dominant NH4 + consuming process in cultivated soil, and this will lead to the increased production of nitrate, whereas the increased contribution of denitrification to N2O emission promoted the larger emission of N2O. This double impact explains why the risk of N loss to the environment is increased by long-term cultivation and fertilization of native prairie sites, and controlling nitrification maybe effective to abate the negative environmental effects.  相似文献

This experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of ammonium salts on the uptake of cadmium (Cd) and nutritional heavy metals (copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe)) by rice, barley, and spinach. These plants were grown in Cd, Cu, and Zn contaminated entisol (ES) or andisol (AS). The following ammonium salts were used: ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4), ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (NH4H2PO4). In ES, the Cd concentrations in three plant shoots were higher with NH4Cl than with the other salts. The concentrations of Cd in soil solutions collected from ES were higher with NH4Cl. Thus, the increase of Cd uptake by three plants with NH4Cl treatment would be caused by the increased concentration of Cd in the soil solution. In contrast, in AS, the concentrations of the heavy metals in the shoots of all plants were not different among NH4 applications, with one exception, the Mn concentration in rice increased with NH4Cl in both ES and AS.  相似文献

Karanjin, a furanoflavonoid (3-methoxy furano –?2 ′ , 3 ′ , 7, 8-flavone), is obtained from the seeds of karanja tree (Pongamia glabra Vent.), which is reported to have nitrification inhibitory properties but has been tested in few soil types. Efficiency of karanjin as a nitrification inhibitor in seven different soils of India was tested in a laboratory incubation study. The soils (800?g) were adjusted to field capacity moisture content, fertilized with urea and urea combined with karanjin at a rate of 20% of applied urea-N (100?mg?kg???1 soil) and incubated at 35°C for a period of 7 weeks, during which urea [CO(NH2)2], ammonium (NH4 ?+?), nitrite (NO2 ???) and nitrate (NO3 ???) content in the soils was measured periodically and nitrification inhibition at different stages was calculated. Urea hydrolysis was almost complete within 72?h of application in all the soils and was not affected by karanjin. Karanjin had conserved ammonium in all the soils at all stages and nitrate formation was effectively minimized. Nitrite in soils was short-lived and low. Nitrification inhibition by karanjin remained high for a period of approximately 6 weeks, decreased with time and ranged from 9?–?76% for all the soils. The study shows that this plant product can be an effective nitrification inhibitor in several types of soil.  相似文献

Influence of Salinity on Nitrogen Transformations in Soil   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Laboratory experiments were carried out to study the influence of various salinity levels [1 (control), 9 (medium), 17 (high), and 27 dS m–1(strong)] on nitrogen (N) transformations in soil fertilized with urea and ammonium sulfate. Generally, soil salinization affected the normal pathway of N transformations. The results showed that salinity (medium to high) inhibited the second step of nitrification, causing nitrite (NO2 ?) accumulation in soil. The inhibition was more severe in cases of high level of salinity. The greatest salinity level caused inhibition of even the first step of nitrification, leaving more ammonium (NH4)-N accumulation in soil. Severity in nitrification inhibition was observed with increase in salinity and rate of N application, which declined with time. Ammonium accumulation with increased salinity caused N losses in the form of ammonia (NH3) volatilization. After 14 days, the NH3 losses were 1.4-, 2-, and 5-fold greater at 9, 17, and 27 dS m–1 than that of the control (1 dS m–1). After 42 days, the losses reached up to 6-fold more than the control at the greatest salinity level. Initially (up to 14 days), NH3 losses were more from urea than from ammonium sulfate, whereas at the later stages (42 days), the losses were almost equal from both the fertilizers. The overall results revealed significant adverse effects of salinity on N transformations in soil.  相似文献

Abstract

Microbial nitrification and denitrification are responsible for the majority of soil nitrous (N2O) emissions. In this study, N2O emissions were measured and the abundance of ammonium oxidizers and denitrifiers were quantified in purple soil in a long-term fertilization experiment to explore their relationships. The average N2O fluxes and abundance of the amoAgene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria during the observed dry season were highest when treated with mixed nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer (NPK) and a single N treatment (N) using NH4HCO3as the sole N source; lower values were obtained using organic manure with pig slurry and added NPK at a ratio of 40%:60% (OMNPK),organic manure with pig slurry (OM) and returning crop straw residue plus synthetic NH4HCO3fertilizer at a ratio of 15%:85% (SRNPK). The lowest N2O fluxes were observed in the treatment that used crop straw residue(SR) and in the control with no fertilizer (CK). Soil NH4+provides the substrate for nitrification generating N2O as a byproduct. The N2O flux was significantly correlated with the abundance of the amoA gene in ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (r = 0.984, p < 0.001), which was the main driver of nitrification. During the wet season, soil nitrate (NO3?) and soil organic matter (SOC) were found positively correlated with N2O emissions (r = 0.774, p = 0.041 and r = 0.827, p = 0.015, respectively). The nirS gene showed a similar trend with N2O fluxes. These results show the relationship between the abundance of soil microbes and N2O emissions and suggest that N2O emissions during the dry season were due to nitrification, whereas in wet season, denitrification might dominate N2O emission.  相似文献

Nitrate reductase activity (NRA) was determined to investigate the effect of salinity and nitrogen (N) interactions on alfalfa [Medicago sativa (L) cv. Gilboa] during its vegetative growth. Increasing levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) (0, 30, 65, and 100 mM) decreased NRA in both plant parts, i.e., root and leaf, however to a lesser extent in leaves. The inclusion of Neither as nitrate (NO3) or ammonium (NH4) (0, 3, and 6 mM) to the nutrient medium resulted in a substantial enhancement of NR activity in salinized and non‐salinized plants as well.  相似文献

Abstract

Summer patch is caused by the ectotrophic, root‐infecting fungus Magnaporthe poae Landschoot and Jackson. The disease, which often infects high maintenance turf, can be difficult to control because root infection often occurs six to eight weeks before the appearance of foliar symptoms. Disease severity is reduced when turf is fertilized with ammonium nitrogen (N) sources, compared to nitrate or urea sources of N. Thiosulfate, from (NH4)2S2O3 or K2S2O3, is a nitrification inhibitor which may enhance ammonium uptake of turf by slowing nitrification. N‐SURE is a triazone‐based, slow release N source that is commonly used to fertilize turfgrass. Field studies were conducted from 1995 to 1996 on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) grown on a Nixon loam (fine‐loamy, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludult) to evaluate the effectiveness of the several N and K sources for their ability to control summer patch disease. Nitrogen fertilizers, N‐SURE, (NH4)2S2O3, and (NH4)2SO4, were applied in combination with either K2SO4 or K2S2O3. The severity of summer patch was greater when the turf was fertilized with N‐SURE in 1995 and 1996 and urea in 1996 compared to (NH4)2S2O3. The N sources, (NH4)2SO4 and (NH4)2S2O3, were strongly acidifying to the upper 10 cm of soil and were very effective in controlling summer patch. The application of K2S2O3 slightly acidified the upper 5 cm of soil but did not suppress the development of summer patch. The ability of thiosulfate to act as a nitrification inhibitor did not appear to play a role in the suppression of summer patch. Since foliar burn may occur if (NH4)2SO4, (NH4)2S2O3, or K2S2O3 are applied to turf without irrigation, the application of water after their use is recommended.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Aspects of ammonium (NH4 +) toxicity in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) were investigated following growth with different N sources [nitrate (NO3 ?), NH4 +, or NH4NO3] supplied in concentrations of 1, 5, 10, or 15 mM. Plant dry weights and root: shoot ratios were lower with NH4 +-fed plants than with NO3 ?-fed plants. Ammonium accumulated strongly in leaves, stem, and roots when the concentration in the growth medium exceeded 1 mM. The increase in tissue NH4 + coincided with saturation of glutamine synthetase activity and accumulation of glutamine and arginine. Low tissue levels of calcium and magnesium in the NH4 +-fed plants constituted part of the NH4 +-toxicity syndrome. Additions of small amounts of NH4 + to NO3 ? -grown cucumber plants markedly increased the growth.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to test if the effects of different nitrogen forms on potato growth depend on the plant growth stage. Plants from different potato cultivars were treated with different forms of nitrogen before tuber initiation and after tuber formation. A nitrification inhibitor was used to prevent the transformation of ammonium (NH4+) to nitrate (NO3?). Plant growth, tuber formation, leaf area, leaf chlorophyll content, and tuber yield were assessed. The results obtained over 2 years indicate that plants treated with NO3-nitrogen (N) before or at tuber initiation produced more tubers per plant than those treated with NH4-N. However, plants treated with NH4-N develop tubers earlier. Additionally, after tuber formation, plants treated with NH4-N had better shoot growth than plants treated with NO3-N. A larger leaf area with higher leaf chlorophyll content resulted in greater dry matter accumulation and higher tuber yield at harvest for plants treated with NH4-N.  相似文献
