“…Steusloff et al (2019) reported that a deep-band placement of urea with nitrapyrin on a poorly drained claypan soil resulted in 21% greater N uptake and a 27% increase in N recovery efficiency than other N placement treatments (broadcast or broadcast incorporated). The variable response in crop yield to the use of EENFs is often credited to the timing, quantity, fertilizer source, and frequency of rainfall after fertilizer application as well as soil conditions such as soil texture and moisture conditions (Cook et al, 2015;Kaur et al, 2024;Nelson et al, 2008). In addition, the nitrification of applied fertilizer can vary with soil moisture differences because of application time and temperature (fall vs. spring) in soils with or without an artificial subsurface drainage system.…”

“…The use of slowand controlled-released fertilizers has also been proposed to improve fertilizer use efficiency by reducing leaching loss of nutrients and gas emissions (Snyder et al, 2009). However, their effectiveness can be influenced by agricultural management practices and can vary by location due to climate and soil characteristics (Cook et al, 2015;Kaur et al, 2024).…”

Nitrogen (N) and subsurface drainage water management are crucial and challenging components of sustainable crop production on poorly drained claypan soils. During extreme precipitation events, N fertilizer management is difficult in a corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean (Glycine max L.) rotation that balances productivity and environmental quality. This 4‐year (2018–2021) experiment was conducted on a poorly drained soil to examine the interactive effects of drainage (subsurface tile drainage [SD] and no drainage [ND]) and corn N fertilizer treatments (non‐treated control [NTC], fall‐applied anhydrous ammonia [AA] at 190 kg N ha−1 with nitrapyrin [fall AA + NI], pre‐plant AA [spring AA] at 190 kg N ha−1, and top‐dressed urea [TD urea] as 42 kg N ha−1 SuperU and 126 kg N ha−1 ESN as a 25:75% granular blend) on yield and nutrient uptake. Corn grain yield was 1.22–1.53 Mg ha−1 greater with fertilizer treatments in SD compared to ND. Drought conditions in 2018 lowered corn grain yield compared to 2020. Average over 2 years, corn yield in SD soils was ranked as spring AA > fall AA + NI > TD urea > NTC. While soybean yield following corn was 13% greater in the NTC compared to TD urea. The SD treatment increased soybean yield by 0.6–2 Mg ha−1 compared to ND. This study results showed that fall AA + NI produced corn yields similar to spring AA in SD and ND soils in temperate humid climatic conditions.

Sustainable nitrogen (N) fertilizer management practices in the Midwest U.S. strive to optimize crop production while minimizing N gas emission losses and nitrate-N (NO3-N) losses in subsurface drainage water. A replicated site in upstate Missouri from 2018 to 2020 investigated the influence of different N fertilizer management practices on nutrient concentrations in drainage water, nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and ammonia (NH3) volatilization losses in a corn (Zea mays, 2018, 2020)–soybean (Glyince max, 2019) rotation. Four N treatments applied to corn included fall anhydrous ammonia with nitrapyrin (fall AA + NI), spring anhydrous ammonia (spring AA), top dressed SuperU and ESN as a 25:75% granular blend (TD urea), and non-treated control (NTC). All treatments were applied to subsurface-drained (SD) and non-drained (ND) replicated plots, except TD urea, which was only applied with SD. Across the years, NO3-N concentration in subsurface drainage water was similar for fall AA + NI and spring AA treatments. The NO3-N concentration in subsurface drainage water was statistically (p < 0.0001) lower with TD urea (9.1 mg L−1) and NTC (8.9 mg L−1) compared to fall AA + NI (14.6 mg L−1) and spring AA (13.8 mg L−1) in corn growing years. During corn years (2018 and 2020), cumulative N2O emissions were significantly (p < 0.05) higher with spring AA compared to other fertilizer treatments with SD and ND. Reduced corn growth and plant N uptake in 2018 caused greater N2O loss with TD urea and spring AA compared to the NTC and fall AA + NI in 2019. Cumulative NH3 volatilization was ranked as TD urea > spring AA > fall AA + NI. Due to seasonal variability in soil moisture and temperature, gas losses were higher in 2018 compared to 2020. There were no environmental benefits to applying AA in the spring compared to AA + NI in the fall on claypan soils. Fall AA with a nitrification inhibitor is a viable alternative to spring AA, which maintains flexible N application timings for farmers.

The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems, the conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is atmospheric nitrogen, making it the largest source of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes, including primary production and decomposition. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle. Human modification of the global nitrogen cycle can negatively affect the natural environment system and also human health. Volatilization and its Relationship to N2 fascination in Nitrogen Cycle in agriculture field is discuss in this paper.
