Nitrogen loss pathways and nitrogen loss inhibitors: A review

By: Contributor(s): Material type: ArticleArticleLanguage: En Publication details: 1988Subject(s): In: Journal of Fertilizer Issues v. 5, no. 4, p. 109-125615157Summary: Fertilizer N losses from cropping systems via ammonia volatilization, leaching and denitrification are discussed. Research suggests that while conditions favouring very large losses are uncommon or limited to special cropping systems, conditions favouring moderate losses are common. Research on use of ammonia volatilization inhibitors, urease inhibitors and nitrification inhibitors is also reviewed.
