Table 5: Analysis of variance summary and mean season-long nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, rice yield, above- and belowground and total dry matter (DM), above- and belowground nitrogen (N) concentration and uptake, grain N concentration and uptake, total N uptake, and N2O emissions intensity for four fertilizer-N treatments [i.e., optimum plus one split (OPOS), half optimum plus two splits (HOPTS), optimum plus two splits (OPTS), and unamended control (UC)] from rice grown in a silt-loam soil under furrow-irrigation in the greenhouse.
