Suppression of soil nitrification by plants
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
Nitrification, the biological oxidation of ammonium to nitrate, weakens the soil?s ability to retain N andfacilitates N-losses from production agriculture through nitrate-leaching and denitrification. This processhas a profound influence on what form of mineral-N is absorbed, used by plants, and retained in the soil,or lost to the environment, which in turn affects N-cycling, N-use efficiency (NUE) and…

Potential for biological nitrification inhibition to reduce nitrification and N2O emissions in pasture crop?livestock systems
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)
Abstract
Agriculture and livestock production systems are two major emitters of greenhouse gases. Methane with a GWP (global warming potential) of 21, and nitrous oxide (N2O) with a GWP of 300, are largely emitted from animal production agriculture, where livestock production is based on pasture and feed grains. The principal biological…
