Abstract: 【Objective】Conservation tillage is usually less prone to erosion and has a great soil organic matter content as compared to conventional tillage. However, the effect of conservation tillage on the ammonia volatilization is not well understood. In this study ammonia volatilization under conservation tillage was investigated to provide new strategies for improving nitrogen use efficiency. 【Method】Continuous air-flow enclosure method was used to monitor ammonia volatilization under three tillage systems (No-tillage, NT; rotary tillage, RT; conventional tillage, CT) in a winter wheat and maize rotation in northern China. 【Result】Compared to CT and RT, NT significantly increased NH3 volatilization when nitrogen was top-dressed, reduced NH3 volatilization when nitrogen was incorporated into soil. In the winter wheat-summer maize cropping season, the cumulated NH3 volatilizations of two seasons was 15.8, 18.4 and 28.6 kg?hm-2?a-1 under CT, TR and NT, accounting for 4.9%, 5.7%, and 8.8% of the applied fertilizer, respectively. Laboratory incubation study showed that higher urease activity in surface soil resulted in rapid urea hydrolysis, which stimulated NH3 volatilization under NT. 【Conclusion】In the North China Plain, soil under NT soils are prone to NH3 volatilization following surface application of urea, and one-time deep application of nitrogen is recommended for reducing ammonia volatilization under no-tillage system.
