Ammonia (NH_3) volatilization from animal manure application is detrimental to the environment, crop nutrition and human health and investigations into mitigation strategies are a great challenge among agro-environmental issues. The objective of the present study was to reduce NH_3 volatilization in a paddy soil fertilized with anaerobically digested cattle slurry (ADCS). In laboratory experiments, several mitigation methods for NH_3 volatilization were tested. Among these methods, acidification of ADCS with wood vinegar (WV) from pH 7.8 to pH 6.0 was the most effective in suppressing NH_3 volatilization. Increasing the depth of the floodwater threefold also reduced NH_3 volatilization by more than 80%. A lysimeter (1m square with 0.5m depth) experiment was conducted in triplicate with the following treatments: (1) chemical fertilizer ([CF] N:P:K=14:14:14), (2) ADCS, (3) acidifying ADCS with WV to pH 6.0, (4) keeping a deeper floodwater level (DFW) at 10cm at the ADCS applications (3-4cm in the other treatments). A total fertilization of 30g NH_4^+-N m^<-2> (basal and three times as a top dressing) was done for all treatments either with CF or ADCS and other fertilizations were not conducted. The NH_3 volatilization was measured using the dynamic flow chamber method for 1 week after each fertilizer application. The results highlighted that the use of ADCS, instead of CF, enhanced NH_3 volatilization approximately eightfold, and the total amount of NH_3 volatilization corresponded to 13% of the applied NH_4^+-N in the ADCS treatment. This increased N loss was effectively (63-82%) reduced by adding WV and by keeping the floodwater level deeper. Biomass production was not significantly different between the CF (2880±226g [dry basis] m^<-2>) treatment and the three ADCS treatments (3320±249, 2720±384 and 3330±359g [dry basis] m^<-2> in the ADCS, ADCS+WV and ADCS+DFW treatments, respectively). These results demonstrated that enhanced NH_3 volatilization in soil fertilized with ADCS was mitigated by the simultaneous application of an acid residue, such as WV, and by the management of the floodwater level.
