摘要
Urea is the most commonly used nitrogen fertilizer worldwide. However, depending on soil and environmental conditions, high nitrogen losses can occur due to gaseous ammonia emissions. Urease inhibitors like N-(n-butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) reduce these losses by blocking the urease enzyme, which catalyzes urea hydrolysis. With the increasing use of NBPT its environmental fate and features of urease inhibition become increasingly important. This study aimed to further elucidate major NBPT degradation pathways and related urease inhibition in soil. This was investigated in a 14-d incubation experiment using practice-relevant application rates of NBPT and four of its metabolites N-(n-butyl)phosphoric triamide (NBPTO), diamido phosphoric acid (DAP), diamido thiophosphoric acid (DATP) and rac-N-(n-butyl)thiophosphoric diamide (NBPD), covering three postulated degradation pathways. Additionally, the urease inhibition by these compounds was determined and further investigated in 2-h tests. The latter provided dose-response curves, showing that all substances inhibited urease, with NBPTO being the most effective. Inhibition of urease in NBPT-spiked soil was also largely, but not completely, attributed to NBPTO formed within the test period. In 14-d incubation tests, all investigated compounds dissipated quickly by >90% within 6 d (NBPTO), 3 d (NBPT) and ≤1 d (DAP, DATP and NBPD). Extensive oxidation of NBPT to NBPTO and subsequent minor formation of DAP was identified as the preferred degradation pathway. Abiotic degradation processes in sterile soil corresponded to 65-90% of total degradation in microbial active soil. Furthermore, pseudo-first order dissipation kinetics were retarded in sterile soil. Urease activity, calculated as a percentage of activity in the urea-fertilized control, was lowest after about 2 d when NBPTO was spiked to soil (17.9%), followed by NBPT (35.7%), DATP (51.3%), NBPD (54.0%), and DAP (54.4%). This shows that urease inhibition depends on the interplay of NBPT and its degradation products.
