Abstract:
Nitrous oxide emissions (2 closed static chambers/plot) were monitored for about 12 months, following the spring application, by hand, of various nitrogen fertilisers (ammonium nitrate, urea, urea+urease inhibitor nBTPT [trade name Agrotain®], urea ammonium sulphate) and from an untreated control. Three fertiliser applications were made in order to achieve the target, commercial rate of 220 kg N/ha. There were 3 replicate plots (2 x 6 m) of each treatment arranged in a randomised block design. The plots were established on grassland, on a sandy loam soil in south west Scotland, UK. This dataset contains daily rainfall (mm), daily maximum air temperature (°C) and daily minimum air temperature (°C) measured from either the closest meteorological station to the experimental site or from instruments located at the experimental site. ND = not determined. nBTPT = N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide. If the data file is downloaded/opened in excel, dates may appear as dd-mm-yy instead of the standard yy-mm-dd.
