Abstract

Rice field is issued as a source of greenhouses gases (GHGs) emissions especially methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Rice cultural approach could mitigate GHGs emissions i.e. through rice planting systems and nematicide application. The field experiment was conducted in rainfed rice field at Pati District, Central Java to determine effect of planting systems and nematicide application on emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from rainfed rice field. The six treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replicates, namely transplanted rice (TR) without applying nematicide, TR + neem cake, TR + carbofuran, direct seeded rice (DSR) without applying nematicide, DSR + neem cake, DSR + carbofuran. Parameters observed were methane flux, nitrous oxide flux, organic C content in rhizosphere, soil pH, soil redox potential surrounding rhizosphere of Ciherang variety. Methane emission under transplanted rice system was generally higher than direct seeded rice system.  The treatment of DSR + neem cake resulted lowest methane emission (71 kg CH4 ha-1 season-1). The TR system emitted N2O lower significantly than the DSR system. Application of nematicide inhibitor materials decreased more effectively N2O emission. The DSR system increased significantly grain yield and N uptake, while application of nematicide materials didn’t increase grain yield but increased significantly N uptake.

Abstract

Nitrogen fertilizer use in rainfed rice fields is generally less efficient, only part of N is taken up by plants for their gowth and other N is lost and fixed by soil particles. Nitrogen loss in the form of nitrous oxide can reduce N fertilizer use efficiency and contribute to the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases emission. The field experiment was conducted to determine the residual effect of N fertilizer on nitrous oxide (N2O) flux and yield of some cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata) in rainfed rice fields. The experiment was arranged in a factorial randomized block design with three replicates. The first factor was three cowpea varieties (KT 9, KT 6, KT 3), while the second factor was four levels of residual inorganic N fertilizer (0, 90, 135, 180 kg N ha-1). The variables measured were N2O fluxes, grain yield, biomass weight, total N content in soil before planting cowpea, available N in soil after harvesting cowpea. Residual N fertilizer increased significantly N2O emission from cowpea cropping. Nitrous oxide emission from plots grown with cowpea variety of KT 9, KT 6, and KT 3 ranged 0.42-0.69, 0.30-2.64, and 0.09-2.19 kg N2O ha-1, respectively. N losses from soil grown with KT 9 was lower than those in plots grown with other varieties. Residual effect of N fertilizer increased available N in soil as much as 11.6-82.3% (KT 9), 7.6-30.6 % (KT 6), and 9.6-67.9% (KT 3), recpectively. Residual effect of N fertilizer increased significantly grain yield of KT 9, KT 6, and KT 3 varieties as much as 45.7-111.8%, 79.8-89.3%, and 6.9-25.4%, respectively.
