Abstract:

Application of nitrogen fertilizer inhibitors is an effective way to reduce nitrogen fertilizer rate and improve N (nitrogen) use efficiency of wheat. The application effects of urease inhibitors N-butylthiophosphoramide (NBPT) and hydroquinone (HQ) and nitrification inhibitors 3,4-dimthylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) and dicyandiamide (DCD) under the condition of 10% nitrogen fertilizer reduction on wheat yield, N use efficiency, nutrient uptake and soil fertility were explored by a field experiment. The results showed that the application of nitrogen fertilizer inhibitors could increase wheat yield and N use efficiency compared with 100% urea treatment (CK), among which the positive effect of DMPP was the greatest (P<0.05). The four nitrogen fertilizer inhibitors increased soil pH and decreased soil available phosphorus content, but had no effect on the content of soil organic matter and available potassium, compared with CK. DCD and DMPP increased the content of soil alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen compared with CK, while NBPT and HQ had the opposite effect. DMPP and HQ increased the content of plant nitrogen and phosphorus compared with CK, while DCD and NBPT decreased the content. The four nitrogen fertilizer inhibitors decreased the plant potassium content compared with CK. In short, DMPP and HQ have the best positive effect on wheat yield and N use efficiency, and can alleviate soil acidification.
