Nitrogen acquisition by two U. humidicola genotypes differing in biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity and associated microorganisms

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2022
Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) has been considered a plant strategy to increase N use efficiency by reducing N losses via N2O emissions or nitrate leaching. However, recent studies have revealed no difference in gross nitrate production among Urochloa humidicola genotypes with previously described high- and low-BNI capacity and pointed ...

High rhizospheric ammonium levels in Sorghum halepense (johnsongrass) suggests nitrification inhibition potential

Agricultural & Environmental Letters
Plants, such as sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), have been shown to secrete root exudates involved in biological nitrification inhibition (BNI), an ability to suppress the conversion of ammonium to nitrate and thereby minimize its loss.

Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in Brachiaria pastures: A novel strategy to improve eco-efficiency of crop-livestock systems and to mitigate climate change

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2014
Up to 70% of the nitrogen (N) fertilizers applied to agricultural systems is lost due to nitrification and denitrification. Nitrification is a microbiological process that generates nitrate (NO3 ) and promotes the loss of N fertilizers by leaching and denitrification.

Natural variation of the wheat root exudate metabolome and its influence on biological nitrification inhibition activity. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
Summary Excessive nitrogen use and low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in current agroecosystems are disrupting the global nitrogen cycle. Chemical inhibitors offer only temporary relief, while plant‐derived biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) remain safer but underexplored.

Synthesis, function, and genetic variation of sorgoleone, the major biological nitrification inhibitor in sorghum. [PDF]

Crop Sci
Abstract Sorghum is the third most important food crop, grown on nearly 40 million ha globally, and is known for its resilience under unfavorable conditions. Sorghum is reported to have a strong biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity in root systems, a plant function that suppresses soil nitrifier activity, which in turn prevents the ...

Biological nitrification inhibition and forage productivity of Megathyrsus maximus in Colombian dry tropics

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Agronomic, nutritional, and environmental aspects are integrated to promote sustainable tropical grassland production. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a plant-based strategy to improve nitrogen use efficiency by grasses in which they ...

Selecting an optimal sorghum cultivar can improve nitrogen availability and wheat yield in crop rotation. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract BACKGROUND Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a cereal crop known for its biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity, a plant‐mediated activity limiting nitrification pathway. The use of BNI‐producing plants represents an environmentally friendly and cost‐effective approach to reduce nitrogen (N) losses, such as nitrate (NO3 ...

Biological nitrification inhibition by root exudates of native species, Hibiscus splendens and Solanum echinatum [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Australian native species grow competitively in nutrient limited environments, particularly in nitrogen (N) limited soils; however, the mechanism that enables this is poorly understood.

Effects of biological nitrification inhibitors on nitrogen use efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions in agricultural soils: A review

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
To maintain and increase crop yields, large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers have been applied to farmland. However, the nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of chemical fertilizer remains very low, which may lead to serious environmental problems, including ...
