Description
Summary:The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of urea concentration on soil water distribution and nitrogen transport and transformation. Soil box tests were carried out in the laboratory for the multidirectional cross‐infiltration of urea fertilizer solutions with concentrations of 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 g l¯¹ to study the characteristics of soil water distribution and nitrogen transport and transformation in the process of multidirectional infiltration of urea fertilizer solutions with different concentrations. Under the same irrigation time, the soil moisture content and ammonium and nitrate nitrogen increased with increasing fertilizer concentration. At the same fertilizer concentration, the soil moisture content and ammonium and nitrate nitrogen increased with increasing irrigation time. At the same distribution time, the soil moisture content and its rate of decrease increased with increasing fertilizer concentration. The correlation coefficients of the empirical formula were all greater than 0.90, and the standard error was very low. Moreover, based on a significance test at the 0.05 significance level, it could be seen that this empirical formula reflected the soil water distribution and nitrogen transport and transformation rules in multidirectional confluence infiltration through membrane holes with different fertilizer concentrations. Résumé Cette étude a pour objectif de déterminer l'influence de la concentration en urée sur la répartition de l'eau dans le sol et le transport et la transformation de l'azote. Nous avons étudié les caractéristiques de la distribution de l'eau dans le sol et de la migration de l'azote lors de l'infiltration multidirectionnelle de solutions d'engrais uréiques à différentes concentrations, en utilisant des essais d'infiltration multidirectionnelle en chambre de sol à des concentrations de 2,0, 4,0, 6,0 et 8,0 g l¯¹. Pour la même durée d'injection, l'humidité du sol, l'azote ammoniacal et l'azote nitrique augmentent avec la concentration d'engrais. A la même concentration d'engrais, la teneur en humidité du sol, en azote ammoniacal et en azote nitrique augmente avec la durée d'irrigation. Au cours de la même période de distribution, la teneur en eau du sol et son taux de diminution augmentent avec la concentration en engrais. Les coefficients de corrélation des formules empiriques sont tous supérieurs à 0.90, avec une erreur type très faible, et le test de signification avec un niveau de signification de 0.
