Bacteriostatic action of nitrification inhibitors
Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1982 Nitrification inhibitors were investigated in an attempt to establish whether such chemicals actually kill ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (bactericidal action) or whether bacteria remain viable but temporarily incapable of nitrification (bacteriostatic action).

Metabolome fingerprinting reveals the presence of multiple nitrification inhibitors in biomass and root exudates of Thinopyrum intermedium [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsBiological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI) encompasses primarily NH4+‐induced release of secondary metabolites to impede the rhizospheric nitrifying microbes from performing nitrification.

Effects of enhanced efficiency fertilizers on soil nitrous oxide emissions in corn agroecosystems: Integrating machine learning and meta-analysis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsNitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from corn (Zea mays) production are a major source of agricultural greenhouse gases. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) are designed to reduce nitrogen losses, yet their effectiveness varies across soils and management ...

An assessment of nitrification inhibitors to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from UK agriculture [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 A trial was conducted consisting of 14 experiments across sites in England of contrasting soil type and annual rainfall to assess the effectiveness of nitrification inhibitors (predominantly dicyandiamide (DCD) but limited assessment also of 3, 4 ...

Nitrification inhibitors [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 1977 The effects of furano compounds, furfural (furfuraldehyde) and furfuryl alcohol (5, 10, 20 and 30% of N applied) on nitrification of ammonium sulfate and urea N were studied in a sandy clay loam in laboratory. Both furfural and furfuryl alcohol significantly retarded the nitrification rates of both the fertilizers by inhibiting the conversion of NH4 ...

Use of Symbiotic Fungi to Reduce the Phytotoxic Effect of DCD Nitrification Inhibitors in Lettuce
Agriculture, 2022 Nitrification inhibitors are commonly used to prevent nitrate leaching. However, the use of nitrification inhibitors is not free of side-effects. Some may be absorbed by the plant and cause phytotoxicity or even affect the food chain.

Nitrification a Boon or Curse to the Ecosystem: Nitrification Inhibitors and their Potential for Greener Agriculture. [PDF]
Indian J MicrobiolNitrification oxidizes ammonia in soil into nitrate, leading to significant nitrogen losses, and reducing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in agricultural systems. Majority of applied nitrogen fertilizers contribute to environmental issues resulting from nitrification, denitrification, volatilization, leaching, etc., while only 30-50% are absorbed by ...
