Due to its lower water requirement, methane emission and soil degradation, a maize–wheat
rotation (MWR) may be a more attractive alternative to rice–wheat rotation (RWR), in the
upper Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) of India. However, N2O emission from MWR needs to be
quantified to propose management practices for N2O mitigation. A field experiment was
conducted at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Indian Agricultural Research
Institute (ICAR-IARI), New Delhi, to assess the impacts of various N sources on N2O emission
and its mitigation from the MWR. Six treatments –N0 (control), urea, urea þ farmyard manure
(FYM), FYM, urea þ nitrification inhibitor (NI) and neem oil coated urea (NOCU) were investigated during 2012–2014. Results show ranges of N2O-N emissions from MWR of 0.59–0.69,
1.82–1.86, 1.81–1.85, 1.71–1.77, 1.38–1.52, 1.57–1.61 during 2012–2013, and of 0.62–0.68,
1.86–1.90, 1.78–1.84, 1.72–1.76, 1.40–1.46, 1.52–1.60 during 2013–2014, for N0, urea,
urea þ FYM, FYM, ureaþ NI and NOCU treatments, respectively. The 2-year pooled N2O-N
emission of MWR decreased by 23% in ureaþ NI and by 16% in NOCU with higher grain
yield as compared to conventional urea application. Application of FYM with urea and FYM
alone also reduced N2O-N emission; however, the grain yields of these treatments were
decreased. Thus, the study suggests that the application of NOCU and NI with urea can mitigate N2O-N emissions from the maize and wheat crops. Hence, the use of NOCU and application of NI with urea could be a better option to mitigate N2O-N emissions from MWR of
the upper IGP of India
