Abstract:The influences of urease/nitrification inhibitors on urea-derived ammonium and nitrate contents in the soils at increasing distances from rice root rhizosphere were studied by a self-made rhizobox.The results showed that dicyandiamide (DCD) with or without hydroquinone (HQ) significantly improved the growth of rice during the period of cultivation, and decreased the urea-derived ammonium contents in rhizosphere and near rhizosphere soil until 60 days after fertilization.Treatments with DCD and with DCD plu...
