In order to uncover the effects of C/N on methane production and straw degradation, an anaerobic fermentation experiment with rice straw and different amounts of urea was carried out using a self⁃made anaerobic fermentation device to simulate field anaerobic fermentation conditions. Five C/N ratio treatments, including 15∶1, 20∶1, 25∶1, 30∶1 and the control (53∶1), were set up. The gas production, methane content and straw degradation rate were determined. C/N influenced the process of anaerobic fermentation to a certain extent. The time and value of reaction peak differed among treatments. The reaction peak of the 25∶1 treatment appeared earliest, 5 days earlier than that the control. The reaction peak value of the 20∶1 treatment was the highest, which was 27.55% higher than that of the control. C/N had a significant effect on the cumulative gas production and the cumulative methane production in anaerobic fermentation. The cumulative gas production (4 235.00 mL) and the cumulative methane production (1526.34 mL) of the 20∶1 treatment reached the highest, which were 30.78% and 51.31% higher than that of the control, respectively. C/N also had a significant impact on the degradation of rice straw. The treatments of 20∶1 and 25∶ 1 significantly promoted straw degradation. The total degradation rate, cellulose and hemicellulose degradation rate of treatment 20∶1 reached 51.33%, 55.31% and 53.05%, respectively,treatment 25∶1 were 50.00%,53.08% and 49.42%. The above results indicate that the regulation of C/N by adding urea can improve the methane production efficiency and promote the degradation of rice straw, and the treatment of C / N within (20⁃25)∶1 range has the best promoting effect.
