In this fertilizer, one of the main nitrogen (N) losses is related to ammonia volatilization. The use of products that provide reduced losses of N from urea can help to increase the use efficiency of this nutrient in pastures. This study aimed to determine the effect of nitrogen sources and doses split applied at topdressing in Urochloa ruziziensis in the N losses by ammonia N-NH3 volatilization. The experiment was conducted in Santo Antônio de Goiás, GO, in a in a Brazilian Oxisol. It was used the randomized blocks experimental design, with four replications, in a factorial arrangement 2 x 5 x 5. Treatments were composed by N sources: common urea and urea with urease inhibitor, N rates: 0, 50, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 (split in 5 applications) and five forage growth period: 11/14 to 12/13 (1º period), 12/14 to 01/12 (2º period), 01/13 to 02/11 (3º period), 03/24 to 04/22 (4º period) and 07/10 to 08/08 (5º period). The use of urea with urease inhibitor provided reductions in ammonia loss by volatilization in comparison to the common urea. Increasing N rates led to increased N-NH3 volatilization. In drier periods of the year it was found greater losses of N by ammonia volatilization.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/CerradoForragemAdubação nitrogenadaPerdas de nitrogênioInibidor de ureaseForageNitrogen fertilizationNitrogen lossesUrease inhibitorArtigo10.5747/ca.2018.v14.n1.a193
