This research study aims to determine the production of nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), the rate of ammonium-nitrate, microbe responses in soil following the addition of urea coated by zeolite under soil incubated. The result showed that urea granulated with zeolite in soil sample had a significant effect on the production of CO2and have no significant increase N2O productions. Therefore, the addition of urea with zeolite seems to decrease the production of N2O compared to urea alone. The concentrations of ammonium and nitrate during incubation time were significantly affected by the amended type of fertilizers. The availability of ammonium and nitrate in soil were increased by addition of urea zeolite 30%. The urea combinedzeolite increases the growth of the fungi population, while population of ammonium oxidizer bacteria seems appearedlower in soil that amended with fertilizer compared to the control. The study showed that urea granulated with zeoliteincreased the time availability of soil nitrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
