Abstract:To reveal the effect of different water and carbon managements on the N2O production in the paddy soil, a combined watersaving irrigation with the straw returning and organic fertilizer application was adopted to observe the profile distribution characteristics of N2O concentration in paddy soil with the microlevel technology under different water and carbon managements. Results show that within 16 days after fertilization, N2O concentration in the controlled irrigation paddy soil is lower than the conventional irrigated soil in different depth, from 8 day the controlled irrigation paddy soil is significantly higher than the conventional irrigated soil (p<0.05), and the law is basically same under two carbon managements. N2O concentration in the shallow layer (01cm) of the controlled irrigation paddy soil is not significantly affected by the straw returning and the organic fertilizer application, while in the deeper depth (13 cm), the straw returning is significantly higher than the organic fertilizer application (p<0.05). The effect of two carbon managements on N2O concentration in the conventional irrigation paddy soil is not obvious. N2O concentration of organic fertilizer application under the controlled irrigation is lower than others, after the tiller fertilizer, the mean concentration of N2O in CM is 35.1% and 24.8% lower than it in CS and FM (p<0.05), and CM is slightly lower than FS. After the panicle fertilizer, the mean concentrations of N2O are CM is 45.5%, 33.7% and 18.8% lower than CS, FS and FM (p<0.05).
