摘要

Agriculture soils are an important source of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions which is leading to climate change and global warming. Urea is an important source of nitrogen (N), however, most of urea applied to crops is lost to environment. The use of slow-release nitrogen (SRN) has emerged as an excellent approach to increase crop productivity and reduce N losses. Therefore, this research was conducted to reveal the effects of different types of urea fertilizers on rice productivity, N dynamics and GHG emissions.The study was comprised of various types of coated urea: normal urea (NU), neem oil coated urea (NOCU), zinc coated urea (ZCU), and sulphur coated urea (SCU) and various rates of urea application; control (no N application), 70 kg N ha−1, 140 kg N ha−1, and 210 kg N ha−1). The results indicate that coated urea application significantly reduced GHG emissions and improved the rice productivity compared to uncoated urea. However, SCU application (140 kg ha−1) resulted in lowest CH4 (18.32% and 54.47%), N2O (12.01 and 19.44%) and CO2 (48.43% and 8.77%) emissions during both years as compared to uncoated urea. Further, SCU (140 kg N ha−1) also reduced the GWP by 44.61% and 46.31% respectively, in 2021 and 2022 and increased the rice yield by 87.42%, and 82.58% as compared to uncoated urea. Therefore, the application of SCU can be a promising approach to mitigate the GHG emissions and enhance the rice productivity, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in semi-arid climates.
