The effectiveness of nitrification inhibitor technology to improve the sustainability of agriculture
(NZ Institute of Primary Industry Management (NZIPIM), 2009-12)
As reported widely in the general media and also in recent editions of Primary Industry Management, there is increasing recognition of the need to improve the sustainability of New Zealand agricultural systems. Fonterra’s ...
Effects of trampling of a wet dairy pasture soil on nitrous oxide emissions and the efficacy of a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide.
(2012-01-31)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emitted from urine patches in grazed dairy pastures is a
major contributor to the total greenhouse gas emissions in New Zealand. The
nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) has been shown to reduce ...
The effect of DCD on nitrogen losses from sheep urine patches applied to lysimeters in autumn
(New Zealand Grassland Association, 2010)
The intensification of modern pastoral agriculture
has increased the risk of environmental degradation.
The use of nitrification inhibitor technology has been
shown to reduce nitrate (NO₃
⁻) leaching losses and
nitrous ...
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 ...
Effect of soil moisture status and animal treading on N₂O emissions and the effectiveness of a nitrification inhibitor mitigation technology
(New South Wales Department of Primary Industry, 2013-09)
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas with a long term global warming potential about 298 times that of carbon dioxide (CO₂). In grazed grassland, most of the N₂O is emitted from nitrogen (N) excreted by the grazing ...
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 ...
Effects of plantain in pasture on nitrous oxide emissions from cattle urine patches, as affected by urine deposition timing and soil type
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of The Royal Society of New Zealand, 2021-10-17)
Two lysimeter experiments were conducted to quantify the effect of including plantain in pasture on nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from cattle urine patches, as affected by urine deposition timing and soil type. In experiment ...
The effect of urinary nitrogen loading rate and a nitrification inhibitor on nitrous oxide emissions from a temperate grassland soil
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-12)
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions associated with urine nitrogen (N) deposition during grazing are a major component of greenhouse gas emissions from domestic livestock. The present study investigated the relationship between ...
Fertiliser and seasonal urine effects on N₂O emissions from the urine-fertiliser interface of a grazed pasture
(Taylor & Francis on behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2015)
Significant areas of ruminant-grazed pastures are simultaneously covered by excreted urine and fertiliser nitrogen (N). However, the effect of overlapping N inputs on nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission factors has not been ...
Effects of trampling of a wet dairy pasture soil on soil porosity and on mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions by a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide
(British Society of Soil Science, 2012-06)
Urine patches in dairy pastures are major sources of nitrous oxide (N2O). Wet winters result in compaction damage to pastures because of animal trampling. The nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), is effective at ...
