The objective of this study was to determine the effect of nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) and urease inhibitor hydroquinone (HQ) on ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emission from pig slurry applied to Timothy (Phleum pretense L.) sward. The daily emission of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) was monitored for 9 days in three different treatments; 1) control (only pig slurry application), 2) DCD treatment (pig slurry + DCD), and 3) HQ treatment (pig slurry + HQ). Most NH₃ emission occurred after 4~5 days in three treatments. Total NH3 emission, expressed as a cumulative amount throughout the measurement time, was 1.33 kg N ha-¹ in the control. The DCD and HQ treatment decreased total NH3 emission by 16.3% and 25.1%, respectively, compared to the control. Total N₂O emission in the control was 47.1 g N ha-¹. The DCD and HQ treatment resulted in a reduction of 67.9% and 41.8% in total N₂O emission, respectively, compared to the control. The present study clearly indicated that nitrification and urease inhibitor exhibited positive roles in reducing N losses through NH₃ and N₂O emission.
