Title Evaluation of Some Chelating Compounds for Retardation
of Urea Hydrolysis In Soil

Description The objective of the present study was to test some
chelating compounds for their ability to retard urea
hydrolysis in soils by inhibiting urease activity. The
rationale behind evaluation of chelating compounds for
inhibiting soil urease activity was that the chelating
compounds are known to interfere with the functioning
of enzymes involving sulphahydral (-SH) group like
urease by chelating the functions having -SH groups.
Also there are evidences to show that the chelating compounds
have the ability to chelate with the metallic ions
in enzymatic activities responsible for functioning of
nitrifiers, mainly Nitrosomonas.* The effects of chelating
compounds on soil urease have not been investigated
and thus prompted evaluation of some chelating compounds
for the purpose.
