Title Nitrification inhibitors for controlling methane emission from submerged rice soils
 
Creator Sahrawat, K L
 
Subject Soil Science
 
Description Submerged rice fields are considered an important
source of atmospheric methane and attention is focussed
on mitigating methane emissions from wetland rice
soils. We assess here the prospects of reducing methane
emission from flooded rice soils by using nitrification
inhibitors. Nitrification inhibitors retard nitrification,
affect nitrogen transformations other than nitrification,
and reduce nitrous oxide production in upland soils. The review of recent literature indicates that nitrification inhibitors have the ability to inhibit or retard methane production and emission in submerged rice soils............
