Nitrification inhibitors can improve the availability of N by regulating the structure and function of the soil microbial community and slowing down the nitrification and denitrification processes.

Through a biological process called nitrification, soil microbes convert ammonium to nitrates that plants can absorb. In order to be efficient at this process, microbes need oxygen.

New studies highlight how thiosulfates not only supply sulfur but also significantly reduce nitrogen loss by slowing the ...

The oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, known as nitrification, is a key process in the nitrogen cycle. Real-time polymerase chain-reaction measurements show that nitrification is driven by bacteria ...

Midwestern soils are among the most productive in the world, thanks in part to extensive tile drainage systems that remove ...

Ever wonder what causes that distinct "marshy" smell. It's the billions of bacteria in the marsh and they are essential for healthy wetlands.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a natural product found in many settings, including the minerals aragonite1 and calcite2; the sedimentary rocks limestone3 and chalk4; and animal structures such as ...

How do stabilizers protect nitrogen in the field? Learn how stabilizers work, their primary benefits and best practices when using them.

Potato yields can be boosted by using nitrogen inhibitors sprayed on to the soil or applied in-furrow at planting, according to independent on-farm trials in Scotland. The nitrification and urease ...
