While studies on the mitigation strategies for NH3 emission are sometimes inconclusive, a systematic synthesis of these studies is lacking. A meta-analysis of the current literature on the mitigation strategies of NH3 volatilization can provide critical information on how to minimize N loss as NH3 in agricultural systems. The information is critical for improving global fertilizer N use efficiency, environmental quality, and climate change mitigation. Objectives The objectives of this analysis were (i) to provide and evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation strategies for NH3 volatilization from synthetic fertilizers applied in agricultural systems; and (ii) to provide critical information for global N management in agricultural systems, environmental quality and climate change mitigation. Table 1 Nitrogen loss as NH3 of applied urea from agricultural land worldwide Continent N loss as NH3 % kg N ha–1 per cropping season Mean Range East Asia 15.9 1.7–48.0 20.6 1.8–96.0 South Asia 30.7 3.0–56.7 37.5 5.6–69.7 Southeast Asia 16.1 14.4–19.5 10.7 8.6–14.6 Australasia 16.0 2.0–30.0 13.7 0.8–49.2 Europe 13.0 0.9–29.8 17.0 0.6–29.8 North America 17.5 0.6–64.0 22.2 0.6–89.6 South America 14.2 1.7–31.8 11.8 0.9–25.4 Average 17.6 0.9–64.0 19.1 0.6–96.0 Materials and methods Mitigation strategies: irrigation, N application method (deep placement), fertilizer type (ammonium-based vs. urea) and the use of urease inhibitors and controlled release fertilizers. 145 studies; 824 direct comparisons (from 1971 to April 2016 ) Response metric: natural log of the response ratio (response to treatment/response to control) Weighting by replication Results Percentage of N loss as NH3 Globally, the average NH3 volatilization losses ranged from 0.9 to 64% (a mean of 17.6%) of the applied N. (Table 1). The percentage of N loss as NH3: South Asia> North America> Southeast Asia> Europe (Table 1). Effect of the 4R nutrient stewardship on NH3 volatilization non-urea based and urea-containing mixed fertilizers decreased NH3 loss by 75% and 31%,respectively (Fig. 1a). Ammonia loss increased with N application rate (Fig. 1b). Split frequency had no effect on ammonia loss (Fig. 1c). Deep placement decreased 55% ammonia (Fig. 1d). Figure 2.

Figure 1. Effects of (a) fertilizer type, (b) factor relative to the lowest N rate, (c) split frequency and (d) deep placement on NH3 volatilization. Means and 95% confidence intervals are depicted. Numbers of experimental observations are in parentheses. Effect of farming practices on NH3 volatilization Irrigation decreased NH3 volatilization by 35% compared to rainfed or supplementary (minimal) irrigation (Fig. 2a). Residue retention increased NH3 volatilization by 26% (Fig. 2b). Amendments reduced NH3 loss by 31% (zeolite, 44%; pyrite, 21%; organic acid, 16%) (Fig. 2c). Effect of enhanced efficiency fertilizers Urease inhibitors and controlled release fertilizers reduced NH3 volatilization by 54% and 68%, respectively (Fig. 3a,b). Nitrification inhibitors increased NH3 volatilization by 38% (Fig 3c). Potential for climate change mitigation Adopting various NH3 mitigation strategies (reduction of 16–88%, Figs. 1–3) would decrease emission of 15–81 million tons CO2-e annually from agricultural systems.

Numbers of experimental observations are in parentheses. Conclusions Mitigating NH3 loss from agriculture is important. Various strategies effectively decrease the loss. The use of non-urea based fertilizers, reduced fertilizer application rate, deep placement of fertilizers, irrigation, urease inhibitors and controlled release fertilizers are effective in reducing NH3 volatilization by local level practicality when implemented. . Our results provide major implications for global N management in agricultural systems, environmental quality and climate change mitigation. For further details, Pan, B., Lam, S.
