24 Form of fertilizer N; pellets vs granular
Summary Band application of urea fertilizer below the soil surface had no effect on the total seasonal CH4 and N2O emissions. Fertilizer addition increased grain yield in all study sites but the lack of yield response to N fertilizer placements is likely due to N was applied at optimal rates. More research is needed to evaluate if N placement can be an effective management practice to reduce GHG emissions in flooded rice systems. soil depth (20 cm) Form of fertilizer N; pellets vs granular Delta Water Management Research Unit
