A pot experiment was carried out to assess ammonia emissions from dairy manure amended with mineral fertilizers applied on wheat stubble. The treatments were: control (no fertilization), urea (U), calcium ammonium nitrate (AN), dairy manure (MAN), urea + dairy manure (UMAN), and calcium ammonium nitrate + dairy manure (ANMAN). A dynamic chamber system was used to measure NH3 emissions during seven days after soil application. UMAN and ANMAN treatments led to higher NH3 emissions than each isolated component. This might be motivated by the manure pH. Thus, the enrichment of dairy manure with U or AN for application on stubble-covered soil should not be recommended. Nevertheless, some manure pre-treatments, such as acidification, or the use of other mineral fertilizers might improve such solutionengammonianitrogenorganic-mineral fertilizermanureno-tillagejournal articlehttps://doi.org/ 10.3390/IECAG2021-10017
