Anaerobically digested dairy manure (AD) has been proposed as an alternative nitrogen source to reduce soil nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions compared with raw dairy manure (RM). The aim of this research was to compare soil N₂O emissions associated with AD and RM according to three application methods: surface broadcasting (SB), incorporation (SBI), and injection (INJ). The field experiment was conducted on a loam soil at Elora, ON, from November 2012 to November 2014, using a randomized block design with four replications. Manure was applied in mid-November (fall), and corn (Zea mays) was planted in late-May of each year. Nitrous oxide flux was measured using nonsteady state chambers sampled weekly or bi-weekly. Cumulative N₂O emissions were significantly affected by the interaction between source and method (F = 3.99, P < 0.01), with the highest value for surface broadcast AD (6.4 kg N₂O-N ha^-1) and the lowest value for injected AD (2.6 kg N₂O-N ha^-1). Manure source affected cumulative N₂O emissions (F = 4.67, P < 0.1), with the largest emissions for AD (4.8 kg N₂O-N ha^-1). Anaerobically digested manure was proven to reduce cumulative N₂O emissions when it was fall injected to corn in cold climates; however, if AD is broadcasted or broadcasted and incorporated, it may result in greater N₂O emissions than those produced by RM.
