The effect of optimum vs deficit irrigation on plant nitrogen uptake and nitrate leaching loss from soil
(Fertilizer and Lime Research Centre, Massey University, 2016)
Nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching, associated with urine nitrogen (N) deposition during grazing is recognised as a significant environmental problem. In this study it was hypothesised that optimum irrigation could increase plant ...
Potential inhibition of urine patch nitrous oxide emissions by Plantago lanceolata and its metabolite aucubin
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2017-12-12)
Plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), a forage used in grazed pastures, contains active secondary metabolites that could potentially inhibit nitrification, a key step in nitrous oxide (N₂O) production from grazing ruminant ...
¹⁵N recoveries from ruminant urine patches on three forage types
(Springer Verlag on behalf of the Royal Netherlands Society of Agricultural Science, 2017-05-17)
Background and aims: ¹⁵Nitrogen balances are useful tools to increase our understanding of soil N processes and the efficiency of plants in taking up animal urine-N. This study aimed to investigate the effect of forage ...
Ruminant urine patch nitrification and N₂O flux: Effects of urine aucubin rate in a laboratory trial
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of Royal Society of New Zealand, 2019-06-10)
Livestock urine deposition onto grazed New Zealand pastures drives soil nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions. Urine patch N₂O emissions can be reduced by inhibiting nitrification, a key urine patch nitrogen (N) transformation ...
Nitrate leaching losses are lower from ryegrass/white clover forages containing plantain than from ryegrass/white clover forages under different irrigation
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2018-04-18)
The aim of this research was to assess the potential of using perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and white clover (Trifolium repens) forages containing plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) (PRGWC + Plantain) to mitigate ...
Effect of two irrigation rates on nitrate leaching from diverse or standard forages receiving spring deposited urine
(Royal Society of New Zealand and Taylor & Francis, 2017-12-20)
The effect of two irrigation rates on nitrogen (N) harvested by diverse and standard forages, and the subsequent effect on nitrate (NO₃⁻) leaching losses from spring deposited urine was investigated. An experiment, using ...
Assessing the impact of non-urea ruminant urine nitrogen compounds on urine patch nitrous oxide emissions
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Society of America, 2018-07)
Urea, the dominant form of N in ruminant urine, degrades in soil to produce N2O emissions. However, the fate of non-urea urine N compounds (NUNCs) in soil and their contribution to urine patch N2O emissions remain unclear. ...
Reducing nitrogen leaching losses in grazed dairy systems using an Italian ryegrass-plantain-white clover forage mix
(Wiley on behalf of the British Grassland Society and the European Grassland Federation, 2018-12)
In grazed agricultural systems, animal urine patches are the major source of nitrogen (N) leaching losses and can cause a decline in water quality. Urine-N rates often exceed plant requirements, and there is a need for ...
Efficacy of aucubin as a nitrification inhibitor assessed in two Canterbury field trials
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2019-07-25)
Ruminant urine patches are nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission hot-spots and compounds that inhibit nitrification in urine-affected soils, a key step in soil N₂O production, can significantly reduce N₂O emissions. Aucubin, a ...
Effects of forage type and gibberellic acid on nitrate leaching losses
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the British Society of Soil Science, 2016-12)
Nitrogen (N) leaching from soil into water is a significant concern for intensively grazed forage-based systems because it can cause a decline in water quality and is a risk to human health. Urine patches from grazing ...
