Ammonia volatilization and yield components after application of polymer-coated urea to maize

Abstract: SUMMARYA form of increasing the efficiency of N fertilizer is by coating urea with polymers to reduce ammonia volatilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of polymer-coated urea on the control of ammonia volatilization, yield and nutritional characteristics of maize. The experiment was carried out during one maize growing cycle in 2009/10 on a Geric Ferralsol, inUberlândia, MG, Brazil. Nitrogen fertilizers were applied as topdressing on the soil surface in the following urea treatments: pol… Show more

“…The authors observed increased volatilization from 19% to 36% when the urea dose varied from 100 to 150 mg dm -3 N. For Almeida and Sanchez (2013) the use of controlled slow release N fertilizer is an alternative to reduce N loss. However, Zavaschi et al (2014) in an assessment of N losses, noted that the application polymer coated urea did not reduce ammonia loss by volatilization and did not interfere in soil ammonium and nitrate levels. The use of the urease inhibitors does not necessarily lead to lower NH 3 losses, only causing delays in the peak volatilization (Tasca et al, 2011).…”

“…Pereira et al (2009) em trabalho realizado com diferentes fontes de ureia na cultura do milho safrinha, sob sistema de plantio direto em dois parcelamentos, sendo o primeiro durante o período mais seco e o segundo no período úmido, observaram que o pico de volatilização de NH 3 ocorreu no 2 o e 4 o dia e 4 o e 5 o dia, respectivamente após aplicação dos fertilizantes nitrogenados; os tratamentos utilizando ureia revestida com polímero e ureia com inibidor de uréase reduziram a volatilização de N em torno de 50% em relação a ureia convencional. Segundo Zavaschi et al (2014) ao avaliarem o efeito da aplicação de ureia convencional e ureia revestida com polímero em cobertura na cultura do milho em sistema de plantio direto, verificaram que o pico de volatilização ocorreu após o 15 o dia para as duas fontes, e a ureia revestida de polímero apresentou redução de perdas de NH 3 por volatilização, quando comparada à ureia convencional. Figura 2.…”

“…The urea coated with a double layer of polymer did not reduce loss of ammonia by volatilization (Zavaschi et al, 2014). The application of conventional urea did not differ from coated urea for the variables of grain yield, N content in the leaves and grain, and chlorophyll content, all in corn.…”
