Title Effects of Nitrification Inhibitors on Nitrogen Transformations, Other Than Nitrification, in Soils
 
Creator Sahrawat, K L

Description Interest in nitrification inhibitors stems from the fact that retardation
of nitrification reduces loss of nitrogen by leaching and denitrification following
nitrification. This helps in some situations to achieve more efficient
use of nitrogen for crop production and may also help in minimizing fertilizer
nitrogen-related environmental stresses, especially accumulation of
nitrate in surface and ground waters. Nitrification is generally used to
mean biological oxidation of ammonium to nitrate via nitrite effected, respectively,
by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter species of nitrifying bacteria,
although nitrification inhibitors are defined as compounds or materials
that specifically retard the oxidation of ammonium to nitrite without...
