| Abstract/Contents: | "The volatilization of gaseous ammonia was measured from cut herbage (leaf lamina + sheath) of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), during a 70 d period of either decomposition or drying, and also from intact plants of perennial ryegrass subjected to induced senescence by shading. Volatilization during decomposition amounted to 20-47% of the herbage nitrogen, but volatilization during drying, and from intact plants during induced senescence, amounted to less than 1% of the herbage nitrogen. During decomposition, volatilization of ammonia was proportionally greater from herbage containing 3-52% nitrogen than from herbage containing 2-32% nitrogen. Volatilization occurred more rapidly at 20 C than at 10 C but, with both samples of herbage and at both temperatures, at least 4 d elapsed before appreciable volatilization occurred." |
