Drug Discovery-Based Approach Identifies New Nitrification Inhibitors
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023 Nitrogen (N) fertilization is crucial to sustain global food security, but fertilizer N production is energy-demanding and subsequent environmental N losses contribute to biodiversity loss and climate change. N losses can be mitigated be interfering with

Research Progress Related to Sorghum Biological Nitrification Inhibitors
AgronomyTo meet the growing population’s demand for food, humans have introduced large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers into agricultural systems, resulting in highly nitrified environments in most farmland soils. In highly nitrified environments, the application

Effects of urease and nitrification inhibitors on soil N, nitrifier abundance and activity in a sandy loam soil. [PDF]
Biol Fertil Soils, 2020 Inhibitors of urease and ammonia monooxygenase can limit the rate of conversion of urea to ammonia and ammonia to nitrate, respectively, potentially improving N fertilizer use efficiency and reducing gaseous losses.

Relative efficacy and stability of biological and synthetic nitrification inhibitors in a highly nitrifying soil: Evidence of apparent nitrification inhibition by linoleic acid and linolenic acid [PDF]
European Journal of Soil Science, 2021 Biological nitrification inhibition is a plant‐mediated rhizosphere process where natural nitrification inhibitors can be produced and released by roots to suppress nitrifier activity in soil.

Inhibition profile of three biological nitrification inhibitors and their response to soil pH modification in two contrasting soils. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol EcolUp to 70% of the nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied to agricultural soils is lost through microbially mediated processes, such as nitrification. This can be counteracted by synthetic and biological compounds that inhibit nitrification.

Comparison of Novel and Established Nitrification Inhibitors Relevant to Agriculture on Soil Ammonia- and Nitrite-Oxidizing Isolates. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2020 Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) applied to soil reduce nitrogen fertilizer losses from agro-ecosystems. NIs that are currently registered for use in agriculture appear to selectively inhibit ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), while their impact on other ...

Nitrification inhibitors effectively target N2 O-producing Nitrosospira spp. in tropical soil. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol, 2019 Summary The nitrification inhibitors (NIs) 3,4‐dimethylpyrazole (DMPP) and dicyandiamide (DCD) can effectively reduce N2O emissions; however, which species are targeted and the effect of these NIs on the microbial nitrifier community is still unclear ...
